What Experts Say
Piroxicam works by blocking cyclooxygenase enzymes, which reduces the production of prostaglandins, the chemicals responsible for pain, swelling, and inflammation in joints. Its long half life is what allows a single daily tablet to control symptoms around the clock.
Because piroxicam carries a higher risk of stomach irritation and gastrointestinal bleeding compared to many other NSAIDs, health authorities recommend using it at the lowest effective dose for the shortest time needed. Doctors in Pakistan often reserve it for patients who have not responded well to other pain relievers.
Taking Fai-Cam with food or milk can reduce stomach upset. Patients with a history of ulcers, heart disease, or kidney problems should discuss safer alternatives with their doctor before starting long term treatment.
