Feldene (Piroxicam) is a medication used to reduce swelling, pain, and stiffness from osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or ankylosing spondylitis. Reducing these symptoms can help you get back to your regular daily life, and activities. Piroxicam belongs to a class of drugs known as NSAIDs. It works by blocking your body’s production of certain natural substances that cause pain and inflammation.
