Piroxicam is indicated for the symptomatic treatment of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or ankylosing spondylitis. Because of its safety profile (see sections 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4), piroxicam should not be used in first-line treatment when a NSAID is indicated. The decision to prescribe a drug containing piroxicam should be based on an assessment of the individual patient's overall risks (see sections 4.3 and 4.4).
The prescription of products containing piroxicam should be initiated by physicians with experience in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with inflammatory or degenerative rheumatic diseases. The maximum recommended daily dose is 20 mg (one ampoule). Adverse effects may be minimised by using the minimum effective dose for the shortest duration necessary to control symptoms. The benefit and safety of the treatment should be reassessed within 14 days. If continued treatment is necessary, it must be accompanied by frequent revaluations. Page 2 of 15 Saudi Arabia, August 2021 Given that piroxicam has been shown to be associated with an increased risk of gastrointestinal complications, the need for possible combination therapy with gastro-protective agents (e.g. misoprostol or proton pump inhibitors) should be carefully considered, in particular for elderly patients.
