Tablets 20 mg

Pirocutan contains the active substance piroxicam, which is an analgesic and antiinflammator medicine (nonsteroidal antiinflammator).

Before prescribing Pirocutan, the doctor should evaluate the need for this medicine versus the risk of occurrence of possible side effects. In certain circumstances the doctor may control you several times and tell you how often you should do controls during treatment with piroxicam.

Indications:

Pirocutan 20 mg is indicated for the symptomatic relief of swelling, tenderness and joint pain in active arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and Morbus Bechterew / Spondylitis ankylosans (rheumatic disease of the backbone).

Piroxicam does not cure arthritis, it only helps you as long as you use it.

Your doctor should prescribe piroxicam only if other nonsteroidal antiinflammators (NSAIDs) have not reached sufficient symptoms relief.

Since constant effective levels are reached late, Pirocutan is not indicated for the treatment of diseases which require a rapid onset of action.
