This medication should not be used by certain patients. People allergic to this medication or other piroxicam formulations should not take it. Individuals who have experienced asthma attacks due to aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may experience severe asthma attacks when using this medication, so it should be avoided. Patients who have had allergic reactions such as hives, rhinitis, or facial swelling from aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs should also refrain from taking this medication. Moreover, children under the age of 14 should not use this medication. Patients with bronchial asthma should exercise caution when using this medication as it may worsen asthma attacks. While using this medication, symptoms such as itching, rash, redness, eczema, and dermatitis may occur on the skin. If these symptoms become severe, the use of the medication should be discontinued. Prolonged or excessive use may lead to nausea, gastrointestinal discomfort, respiratory difficulties, and kidney problems, so caution is needed. This medication does not directly treat the causes of inflammation or pain but helps to alleviate symptoms. When using it for inflammation accompanied by skin infections, appropriate antibiotics or antifungals should be used to prevent the infection from worsening, and the condition should be carefully monitored. When used for chronic conditions such as degenerative arthritis, other treatment methods should be considered alongside medication, and attention should be paid to the occurrence of side effects. During the third trimester of pregnancy, this medication should not be used as it may delay delivery and increase the risk of bleeding and affect the heart and kidneys of the fetus. In the early to mid-pregnancy, animal studies have shown no significant problems for the fetus, but its safety in humans is not definitively established, so caution is advised. Women breastfeeding are recommended not to take this medication as its components may be excreted in small amounts in breast milk. The safety of this medication has not been established for young children, especially preterm infants, neonates, and infants, so its use is not recommended. Elderly patients may experience side effects more easily, so it should be administered cautiously at minimal doses.
