of
osteoarthritis
rheumatoid

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
POSOLOGY
The prescription of 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.
Undesirable effects may be minimised by using the minimum effective
dose for
the shortest duration of treatment necessary to control symptoms. The
benefit and
tolerability of treatment should be reviewed within 14 days. If it is
considered
necessary to continue treatment, this should be accompanied by
frequent review.
Given that piroxicam has shown to be associated with an increased risk
of
gastrointestinal complications, the possible need for combination
therapy with
gastro-protective agents (e.g. misoprostol or proton pump inhibitors)
should be
carefully considered, in particular for elderly patients.
PAEDIATRIC POPULATION
Dosage and indications in children have not been established yet.
ELDERLY
In elderly patients, the posology must be carefully established by the

who will have to consider a possible reduction of the dosage indicated
above.
METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
