Oxicam Derivatives
Piroxicam (Feldene) is the prototypical oxicam
deriva-tive, with analgesic, antipyretic, and antiinflammatory properties. Its
long half-life (45 hours) favors compli-ance, since only one dose per day is
given. Side effects are similar to those encountered with other NSAIDs: gastric
disturbances, tinnitus, and headache. Piroxicam is indicated for inflammatory
and rheumatoid conditions.
