Feldene Gel 0.5% 25gram

Feldene Gel 0.5% 25gram will help to relieve pain and reduce swelling affecting joints and muscles when rubbed into the skin over the affected area. The active ingredient in this medicine is piroxicam. Piroxicam is one of a group of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

Feldene Gel 0.5% 25gram is for the treatment of rheumatism, sprains, strains and mild osteoarthritis of joints (knees, wrists, ankles etc). It is used in the treatment of rheumatoid and osteoarthritis, primary dysmenorrhoea, postoperative pain; and act as an analgesic, especially where there is an inflammatory component. The European Medicines Agency issued a review of its use in 2007 and recommended that its use be limited to the treatment of chronic inflammatory conditions, as it is only in these circumstances that its risk-benefit ratio proves to be favourable.

Piroxicam is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) of the oxicam class used to relieve the symptoms of painful inflammatory conditions like arthritis. Piroxicam works by preventing the production of endogenous prostaglandins which are involved in the mediation of pain, stiffness, tenderness and swelling. The medicine is available as capsules, tablets and (not in all countries) as a prescription-free gel 0.5%. It works by blocking your body’s production of certain natural substances that cause inflammation.
