Tell your doctor if a side effect is severe or does not go away.
Precautions
Take piroxicam with food and use it only for as long as your doctor advises, as long-acting NSAIDs carry a higher risk of stomach irritation. Avoid it if you have had stomach ulcers, and do not combine it with another anti-inflammatory painkiller. It is generally avoided in older adults where a gentler option will do.
Tell your doctor about any other medicines or supplements you take, any allergies, and if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding.
