Description

Piroxicam is used to reduce pain, swelling, and joint stiffness from arthritis. Reducing these symptoms helps you do more of your normal daily activities. This medication is known as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAI D). It works by blocking your body’s production of certain natural substances that cause inflammation. If you are  treating a chronic condition such as arthritis, ask your doctor about non-drug treatments and/or using other medi- cations to treat your pain.
