Piroxicam 10 mg and 20 mg tablets, a long-acting oxicam NSAID used once daily for chronic arthritis under specialist guidance. Offered to importers, distributors, hospital pharmacies and tender buyers sourcing prescription stock.

Product Description:

Piroxicam is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug of the oxicam group. It blocks both cyclo-oxygenase enzymes, cutting the prostaglandins that drive pain, swelling and stiffness in inflamed joints. Its half-life is long, around two days, so one daily dose is enough. This page covers tablets of 10 mg and 20 mg. The tablet suits steady once-daily use in chronic arthritis, and the lower strength lets prescribers start gently in older patients.

After a European safety review in 2007, piroxicam lost its place as a first choice NSAID there. It is kept for symptom relief in osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis, at no more than 20 mg a day, started by doctors experienced in rheumatic disease, and not for acute pain. The US label covers osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, with boxed warnings on heart and gut risk. Gastrointestinal bleeding and serious skin reactions are the main concerns, so a gastroprotective drug is often added. Combining it with anticoagulants, other NSAIDs, SSRIs or steroids is avoided, and lithium and methotrexate levels are watched.

Sourcing notes. Piroxicam is prescription-only in almost all markets. Registered indications and dose limits differ by region, so align the label text with the target market. Ask for a CTD or ACTD dossier with bioequivalence data and zone IVb stability where heat and humidity are high. Tablets are usually packed in blisters or HDPE bottles, kept below 30 °C and protected from light. Request a CoA for each batch, the GMP certificate and a CoPP. State strength, pack size, leaflet language and minimum shelf life on arrival.
