Feldene (Piroxicam) Buyer and Patient Handbook in Singapore
What is Feldene?
Feldene is a piroxicam-containing oral pill that belongs to the muscle-relaxant class and is used to relieve Pain and inflammation. It is commonly prescribed for conditions such as Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and acute musculoskeletal injuries. The product holds FDA and EMA approval and is also registered with Singapore’s Health Sciences Authority (HSA). Feldene is supplied as round tablets in 10 mg and 20 mg strengths.
Who Should Use Feldene?
- Adults with chronic joint pain or inflammatory musculoskeletal disorders.
- Patients requiring long-lasting anti-inflammatory relief (up to 24 hours).
- Individuals who can tolerate NSAIDs and have no contraindications listed below.
How Does It Work?
Piroxicam blocks the enzyme cyclo-oxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2), reducing the formation of prostaglandins that cause pain, swelling, and fever. Think of prostaglandins as traffic signals that keep inflammatory “cars” moving; Feldene removes those signals, allowing the traffic to calm down. Because it is an NSAID, it carries a risk of gastrointestinal irritation and should be taken with food to lessen stomach upset.
Why Choose Feldene?
- Consistent 24-hour pain control makes once-daily dosing possible for many patients.
- The brand formulation is manufactured under strict GMP standards, ensuring tablet uniformity and stability.
- Generic piroxicam alternatives are available at lower cost, offering the same therapeutic effect when bioequivalence is demonstrated.

Reviews
Been on Feldene for my lower back pain for about 3 weeks now. The pain relief is actually really good, I can finally sit through a full workday. But man, the stomach upset is no joke. I learned the hard way to always take it with a full meal, like a proper lunch. Even then, I get this weird metallic taste sometimes. Hoping my body adjusts soon.
Doctor prescribed this for my knee arthritis. Only took it for 5 days. The pain went away, sure, but I felt so dizzy and nauseous all the time. Had to stop because I couldn't function at work. Maybe it's too strong for me. Looking for something milder now.
Feldene has been a lifesaver for my chronic tendonitis. I've been on 20mg for almost a year. The key is taking it right after breakfast, never on an empty stomach. I also avoid coffee for at least an hour after taking it, seems to help with the heartburn. It doesn't fix everything, but it makes the pain manageable so I can still go to the gym.
My rheumatologist put me on this for ankylosing spondylitis. After 8 months, it's the only thing that controls the morning stiffness. The trade-off is the dry skin, especially on my hands. I have to use a lot of moisturizer. Also, I get my blood checked every 3 months because of the long-term risks. It's a commitment, but worth it for the mobility.
I take Feldene for really bad period cramps. It works wonders, way better than the usual painkillers. But I only take it on the first day, the heaviest day. If I take it more than two days in a row, my stomach feels awful. So it's like my emergency weapon. I always make sure to eat a banana or some bread with it.
Been using this on and off for years for gout flares. It knocks out the swelling and redness within a day or two. The trick is to start it as soon as you feel the tingle in your joint. If you wait until it's full-blown, it takes longer to work. The downside is it makes me a bit drowsy, so I try not to drive after taking it.
It's weird. Feldene completely fixed my shoulder bursitis pain, which is great. But after a few weeks, I started noticing my ankles were slightly swollen. Doctor said it's a known side effect for some people, fluid retention. So now I have to weigh the shoulder pain against puffy ankles. Not ideal.
My experience is complicated. It works incredibly well for my sciatica pain. However, I think it might be messing with my sleep. I have very vivid, strange dreams and don't feel rested. I've started taking it right after dinner instead of before bed, which seems to help a bit. Still figuring out the balance.
