Piroxicam works by reducing hormones that cause inflammation and pain in the body. Piroxicam is used to reduce the pain, inflammation, and stiffness caused by rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No Information<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ABSORPTION<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Well absorbed following oral administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">VOLUME DISTRIBUTION<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>0.14 L\/kg<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">METABOLISM<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Renal<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ELIMINATION<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Piroxicam and its biotransformation products are excreted in urine and feces, with about twice as much appearing in the urine as in the feces. Approximately 5% of a piroxicam dose is excreted unchanged. However, a substantial portion of piroxicam elimination occurs by hepatic metabolism. Piroxicam is excreted into human milk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">HALF LIFE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>30 to 86 hours<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">TOXICITY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Symptoms of overdose include drowsiness, nausea, stomach pain, and\/or vomiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FOOD INTERACTIONS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>avoid alcohol<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SIDE EFFECTS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Feeling dizzy.
