This drug contains the active ingredient piroxicam, which is used as an anti-inflammatory analgesic to reduce inflammation and pain. This drug should not be used in certain patients. For example, patients who have an allergy or hypersensitivity reaction to this drug or other piroxicam formulations should not use it. Also, patients with a history of asthma attacks triggered by aspirin or who have had allergic reactions such as urticaria, rhinitis, or angioedema due to aspirin or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs should not use this drug. It is also considered safe not to administer this drug to children under 14 years of age. Patients with bronchial asthma should be particularly cautious when using this drug, as severe asthma attacks may occur, necessitating careful usage. This drug contains propylene glycol, and caution is needed for patients who have had allergic reactions or hypersensitivity to this ingredient. During use, local adverse reactions such as itching, redness, rash, and dermatitis may occur; if symptoms worsen, use should be discontinued. Using for prolonged periods or in large quantities may lead to nausea, gastrointestinal discomfort, respiratory difficulties, or kidney problems, so caution is necessary. This drug is a symptomatic relief treatment and does not address underlying causes; it should not be used on areas with skin infections without closely monitoring the patient and possibly using antibiotics or antifungals to prevent worsening of the infection. When using for chronic conditions such as degenerative arthritis, other treatment options should also be considered in addition to the medication, and it is important to monitor for adverse reactions carefully. The use of this drug during pregnancy, especially in the third trimester, may pose risks to the fetus and mother, so it should not be used; during the first and second trimesters, its safety has not been sufficiently confirmed, so caution is advised. Lactating women should avoid using this drug as its components can be excreted in breast milk in small amounts. Safety for use in infants, neonates, young children, and others has not been established, so it is advisable to avoid use in these populations. Elderly patients may experience adverse reactions more readily, so minimal doses should be used cautiously. This drug should not be applied to areas with skin wounds, bleeding, infections, eczema, burns, or on the eyes and mucous membranes, and it should not be used with occlusive dressings. Caution is necessary as applying to damaged skin may cause temporary irritation.
