This medication contains piroxicam, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug for the alleviation of inflammation and pain. It should not be used in patients who have previously had an allergic reaction to this drug or other piroxicam formulations. It should not be administered to patients with asthma, especially those with a specific type known as aspirin-induced asthma, or who have had symptoms such as hives, rhinitis, or angioedema after taking aspirin or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Safety has not been established for children under 14 years of age, and it should not be used in this age group. Patients with bronchial asthma or allergies or hypersensitivity to propylene glycol, one of the components of this drug, should use it with caution. As a topical medication, local side effects such as itching, redness, rash, and dermatitis may occur; if symptoms are severe, use should be discontinued. If used for prolonged periods or in excessive amounts, systemic side effects such as nausea, gastrointestinal discomfort, respiratory distress, and kidney problems may occur, so caution is required. This drug is meant to help alleviate symptoms, not to treat the underlying causes, so it should be used appropriately for treatment purposes. In cases of skin infection, using this drug might worsen the infection, so it should be used along with antimicrobial or antifungal agents and the condition should be closely monitored. When using for chronic conditions such as degenerative arthritis, other treatment methods should also be considered, and the patient's condition and occurrence of side effects should be carefully monitored. It should not be used in the last three months of pregnancy as it may pose risks to the fetus and mother; caution is required during the early and mid-stages of pregnancy as safety is not guaranteed. Breastfeeding women are advised not to use this drug since it may partially secrete into breast milk. Safety has not been established for infants, newborns, and very young children, so it should not be used in this population. Elderly patients may have an increased risk of side effects, so it should be used with caution at the minimum effective dose when necessary. This medication should not be applied to areas with wounds, infections, burns, or to the eyes or mucosal areas, and it should not be used with occlusive dressings. Users should take care when applying to areas of skin damage, as temporary irritation may be felt.
