What Experts Say

Rheumatologists classify Piroxicam as an oxicam class NSAID that blocks the cyclooxygenase enzymes responsible for producing pain and inflammation chemicals in the body. The beta cyclodextrin complex used in Brixton Tablet 20mg is designed to dissolve faster in the stomach than standard piroxicam, which can shorten the time it takes for pain relief to begin.

Doctors generally reserve oral piroxicam for arthritis and musculoskeletal pain that has not responded well to gentler pain relievers, since it carries a higher risk of stomach irritation and bleeding than many newer NSAIDs. Physicians usually prescribe the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration needed, and often pair it with a stomach protecting medicine in patients who need longer courses.

Regular monitoring of kidney function and blood pressure is common practice for anyone taking piroxicam for more than a few weeks, since NSAIDs as a class can affect both. Older adults and people with a history of ulcers or heart disease are watched more closely, and physicians usually avoid this medicine altogether in the third trimester of pregnancy.
