This medication is an anti-inflammatory analgesic that contains piroxicam and is used to relieve inflammation and pain. This medicine should not be used in patients who have had allergic reactions to this drug or other piroxicam preparations in the past. Care should be taken when administering to patients with aspirin-induced asthma or a history of it, as it may trigger severe asthma attacks. Patients who have developed allergic symptoms such as urticaria, rhinitis, or angioedema after taking aspirin or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs should also not use this medication. It is advisable not to use in children under 14 years of age as safety has not been established. In patients with bronchial asthma, this medication may worsen asthma attacks, so it should be administered with caution. When using this medication, side effects such as itching or redness on the skin, rash, dermatitis may occur, and in rare cases, photosensitivity may develop. If symptoms worsen, usage should be immediately discontinued and a doctor consulted. Long-term or excessive use can lead to systemic side effects such as nausea, gastrointestinal discomfort, respiratory distress, and renal dysfunction, so caution is advised. This medication is a symptomatic treatment that helps alleviate symptoms and is not a cure for the underlying cause. It should be used in conjunction with appropriate antibiotics or antifungals in cases of inflammation accompanied by skin infections, and the patient's condition should be monitored closely. When used for chronic diseases, alternative treatment methods should be considered in addition to drug therapy, and careful observation for side effects should be maintained. During the third trimester of pregnancy, this medication should not be used as it can cause serious side effects such as delayed childbirth, bleeding, and fetal cardiopulmonary toxicity. While animal studies have not shown fetal toxicity in the first and second trimesters, safety for humans is not established, thus caution is required. It is recommended that lactating women do not use this medication as some of the drug may be excreted into breast milk. Safety has not been established for premature infants, newborns, infants, toddlers, and children, so usage should be avoided. For elderly patients, the risk of side effects is higher, so it should be administered cautiously at the minimum dosage. This medication should not be used on areas of the skin with bleeding disorders, eczema, infections, burns, or injuries. It should also not be used with occlusive dressings, and care should be taken as irritation may occur in the event of skin damage.
