Feldene 20Mg 6 ampoules

Feldene 20Mg 6 ampoules

Description:

Feldene 20mg ampoules is a prescription non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) containing piroxicam, used for the short-term management of pain and inflammation in various musculoskeletal and joint disorders. It is presented as injectable ampoules for intramuscular administration, providing systemic analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects when oral therapy is not suitable or rapid onset is required. Feldene is commonly used under medical supervision in conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, acute musculoskeletal pain, and post-operative pain.

Indications:

• Relief of pain and inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis.
• Management of pain, stiffness, and swelling in osteoarthritis.
• Treatment of ankylosing spondylitis–related back pain and spinal stiffness.
• Short-term treatment of acute musculoskeletal disorders (e.g., sprains, strains, low back pain).
• Management of acute gout attacks (pain and joint inflammation).
• Relief of post-operative and post-traumatic pain and inflammation, when parenteral NSAID therapy is indicated.
• May be used for primary dysmenorrhea–related pain when prescribed by a physician (offered as part of piroxicam indications in general).

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Piroxicam – 20 mg per ampoule (exact concentration per ml is not specified in the available information (For full ingredient information, please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website.)).
• Other excipients: Specific inactive ingredients (e.g., solvents, stabilizers) are not available in the provided data. Please refer to the package insert for the full list of excipients.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Feldene 20mg ampoules are for intramuscular injection only and must be administered by a healthcare professional.
• Typical adult dose: often 20 mg once daily, given as a single intramuscular injection, according to physician’s prescription. Exact regimen may vary based on condition severity and patient response.
• Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible duration to reduce the risk of adverse effects.
• Not recommended for long-term continuous parenteral use; usually used to initiate therapy or when oral administration is not feasible, then switched to oral piroxicam if needed.
• Do not self-inject. Do not use in children unless specifically directed by a specialist, as safety and dosing in pediatrics may be limited.
• Do not exceed the prescribed daily dose. If a dose is missed in a hospital setting, the healthcare provider will adjust as appropriate; do not double doses.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides effective relief from moderate to severe pain associated with inflammatory and degenerative joint diseases.
• Reduces inflammation, swelling, and stiffness in affected joints, improving mobility and function.
• Offers convenient once-daily dosing in many patients due to the long half-life of piroxicam.
• Useful when rapid systemic analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect is needed and oral administration is not suitable (e.g., post-operative settings, severe pain, nausea, or swallowing difficulties).

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to piroxicam, other oxicam derivatives, or any component of the formulation.
• Contraindicated in patients with a history of asthma, urticaria, or allergic-type reactions after taking aspirin or other NSAIDs (risk of severe bronchospasm or anaphylaxis).
• Contraindicated in active peptic ulcer, gastrointestinal bleeding, or history of recurrent peptic ulcer/gi bleeding.
• Use with extreme caution in patients with cardiovascular disease, hypertension, fluid retention, or heart failure, as NSAIDs may increase the risk of thrombotic events, myocardial infarction, and stroke.
• Use with caution in patients with renal or hepatic impairment; dose adjustment and close monitoring may be required.
• May prolong bleeding time and interact with anticoagulants; monitor patients on warfarin or similar agents closely.
• Drug interactions: piroxicam may interact with anticoagulants (increased bleeding risk), beta-blockers (reduced antihypertensive effect), cyclosporine (increased nephrotoxicity), lithium (increased serum lithium levels), and hydantoins (increased serum hydantoin levels). Inform your doctor about all medications you are taking.
• Avoid concomitant use with other NSAIDs or high-dose aspirin due to increased risk of gastrointestinal and renal side effects.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or have medical conditions such as peptic ulcer disease, bleeding disorders, kidney disease, liver disease, heart disease, hypertension, or asthma.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease without proper medical supervision.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Use only under medical supervision and strictly according to the prescribed dose and duration.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects: nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, indigestion, heartburn, diarrhea or constipation, headache, dizziness, and injection site pain or irritation.
• Gastrointestinal side effects: risk of gastritis, peptic ulcer, gastrointestinal bleeding, or perforation, which may be serious and can occur without warning, especially in elderly patients or those with a history of ulcers.
• Cardiovascular side effects: edema, increased blood pressure, and a potential increased risk of thrombotic events (heart attack, stroke) with prolonged use or in high-risk patients.
• Allergic reactions: rash, itching, urticaria, bronchospasm, angioedema, or severe reactions such as anaphylaxis or Stevens–Johnson syndrome (seek urgent medical attention if skin rash, blistering, facial swelling, or breathing difficulty occur).
• Hematologic and hepatic effects: rare changes in blood counts, liver enzyme elevations, or serious liver injury; report unusual fatigue, yellowing of skin/eyes, or easy bruising/bleeding.
• Seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe abdominal pain, black or bloody stools, vomiting blood, chest pain, sudden shortness of breath, weakness on one side of the body, or severe skin reactions.
