"Piroxicam is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to treat pain and help relieve symptoms of arthritis (eg, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis), such as inflammation, swelling, stiffness, and joint pain. Piroxicam works by reducing hormones that cause inflammation and pain in the body."
Answered by AI
Is piroxicam stronger than ibuprofen?
"Patients were given either piroxicam in a dosage of 20mg once daily or ibuprofen in a dosage of 400mg three times a day. Both drugs were found to be equally effective, with only a few minor side effects. Piroxicam's once daily administration is a clear practical advantage over ibuprofen."
