Doctor prescribed knowing I was allergic to SULFA medication.....lots of itching within an hour of taking.....also have high blood pressure...2 things that if you have this med should not be prescribed...I guess I need to do my own research....minimal relief of osteoarthritus...not worth it.

This was used after another med didn't seem to be working. After taking this drug for a while, it was just as ineffective as the previous drug.

NSAIDS usually cause stomach pain and reflux for me, but not with Piroxicam unless I drink an alcoholic beverage. My doctor says it is time released therfore reducing stomach irritation. My back pain is much improved as is the torn rotator cuff. The broken ankle is somewhat recent so it is difficult to determine its effect. I will stop taking the medication for a short time to see if the back and rotator cuff pain returns.

Have been taking this drug (20 mg/day) for more than 10 years...didn't think it was doing much till I stopped taking it for several days and was nearly unable to walk. Has caused no stomach or bleeding problems even though I take aspirin for break-through pain. It is inexpensive. I would gladly pay for it out-of-pocket if it weren't covered by my insurance.
