Piroxicam tablet uses?

Piroxicam is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Its main uses are to relieve pain and reduce inflammation in conditions such as:

- Osteoarthritis
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Ankylosing spondylitis
- Acute musculoskeletal disorders (e.g., back pain, strains, sprains)
- Sometimes acute gouty arthritis (short-term)

It’s not a cure, just symptom relief. Dosing is individualized, but it’s usually given as a low daily dose (commonly 10–20 mg once daily; maximum often 20 mg per day).

Safety notes (brief):
- Can cause stomach/intestinal ulcers or bleeding, especially with long-term use
- Not for people with certain conditions (peptic ulcer disease, kidney disease, certain heart conditions) or those taking certain other medicines
- Use only under a clinician’s guidance, especially in pregnancy, breastfeeding, or for children

If you’re asking about a specific tablet or formulation, I can tailor the info.
