Feldex is a long acting drug. Once the daily dose is enough for the relief of pain but it depends from person to person as the effectiveness of piroxicam increases when given for few weeks.

Feldex is not approved for the treatment of migraine. Research studies have shown that Feldex is effective in significantly decreasing the pain associated with migraine without aura.

Feldex in a diabetic patient can only be taken only by consulting a doctor because these medicines have the propensity to cause renal failure when taken for a long period. Diabetes itself causes renal Feldex so taking piroxicam can lead to increased risk of renal failure by many folds.

No. Feldex should not be taken in pregnancy. It causes premature closure of the ductus arteriosus which can lead to fetal heart failure and death of the baby.

No. Feldex should not be taken if you have a abnormal renal function because long-term administration of NSAIDs has resulted in renal papillary necrosis and another renal injury.

Some patients with asthma are hypersensitive to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) drugs like aspirin which can lead to acute attacks of asthma. Consult your doctor before starting this medication.

No. Feldex is contraindicated in cases of active peptic ulcer disease. Feldex is known to cause gastric ulceration and bleeding.

No. Feldex is not known to cause high. It is a non-narcotic painkiller.

Both Feldex and nimesulide are pain killers. However, Feldex is a non-selective COX (cyclooxygenase -an enzyme responsible for inflammation and pain) inhibitor whereas nimesulide is selective to the COX-2 enzyme. This selectivity of nimesulide is supposed to decrease the side effects as compared to piroxicam. It should not be used in children below 12 years of age.

GI discomfort and, rarely, serious GI side effects, such as ulcers and bleeding, serious skin side effects such as exfoliative, Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS), and toxic epidermal necrolysis, liver failure, renal damage.

Both Feldex and diclofenac are pain killers.
