Piroxicam is a long-acting oxicam-class NSAID that, when applied to the skin, penetrates to underlying soft tissue and joint capsule in sufficient concentration to reduce local inflammation &mdash; without the systemic side-effect burden of oral piroxicam (which has a 50-hour half-life and a prolonged systemic exposure profile).<\/p>\n<p>Topical piroxicam is well established for acute traumatic and chronic musculoskeletal pain. It is widely used in Europe and Asia, and is included on several national formularies for the outpatient management of sports injuries and soft-tissue rheumatism.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is Pirox Gel Used For?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Acute sports injuries and soft-tissue trauma &mdash; sprains, strains, contusions<\/li>\n<li>Tendonitis, tenosynovitis, bursitis, epicondylitis (tennis\/golfer&#8217;s elbow)<\/li>\n<li>Osteoarthritis of the hand, knee, and ankle<\/li>\n<li>Periarticular rheumatic conditions<\/li>\n<li>Localised lower back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain<\/li>\n<li>Post-exercise delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Does Pirox Gel Work?<\/h2>\n<p>Piroxicam inhibits both cyclooxygenase isoforms in inflamed tissue, reducing local prostaglandin synthesis. The topical formulation delivers piroxicam to the dermis and underlying structures while keeping blood levels low &mdash; typically less than 5% of an oral dose. This makes it a rational choice when localised inflammation is the main driver of pain.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Apply Pirox Gel<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Vask hendene og hudomr\u00e5det med mild s\u00e5pe og vann; t\u00f8rk godt.<\/li>\n<li>Klem ut en liten stripe (omtrent p\u00e5 st\u00f8rrelse med en kirseb\u00e6r for et enkelt kne, en drue for et h\u00e5ndledd eller albue) p\u00e5 det smertefulle omr\u00e5det.<\/li>\n<li>Gni forsiktig inn til det er absorbert \u2014 dette tar vanligvis 30\u201360 sekunder.<\/li>\n<li>Vask hendene med s\u00e5pe og vann etter p\u00e5f\u00f8ring (med mindre du behandler hendene).<\/li>\n<li>Gj\u00f8r <em>ikke<\/em> Dekk omr\u00e5det med et okklusivt bandasje (plastfolie, stramt bandasje, vanntett plaster) med mindre legen din spesifikt anbefaler det \u2014 okklusjon \u00f8ker systemisk absorpsjon.<\/li>\n<li>Hold gelen borte fra \u00e5pen hud, \u00f8yne, lepper og slimhinner.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Hvor ofte:<\/strong> 3 to 4 times daily. <strong>Maksimum per 24 timer:<\/strong> about 8 g (about a 6-cm ribbon of gel per application on a single large joint) (roughly the size of a large walnut).

Although systemic absorption is low (typically 5&ndash;10% of an equivalent oral dose), large treatment areas, occlusive dressings, broken skin, or long-duration use can push absorption into a range that matters &mdash; particularly in people with kidney disease, heart failure, prior peptic ulcers, or late pregnancy. Do not combine Pirox Gel with an oral NSAID unless your doctor has specifically recommended it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:#fff3f3;border-left:4px solid #d9534f;padding:14px 18px;margin:16px 0;border-radius:4px;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0;\"><strong>Photosensitivity warning.<\/strong> Piroxicam, including topical piroxicam, can cause photosensitive skin reactions &mdash; abnormal sunburn, rash, or blistering on skin that has been exposed to UV light. <strong>Protect the treated area from direct sunlight<\/strong> for the duration of therapy and for at least 2 weeks after the last application. Do not use a sunbed while on Pirox Gel.

Topical use delivers piroxicam locally with very low systemic absorption, so it avoids the long (~50&nbsp;h) oral half-life and the systemic GI, CV, and renal exposure that make oral piroxicam a second-line NSAID.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why do I need to keep the area out of the sun?<\/h3>\n<p>Piroxicam has a known risk of photosensitivity &mdash; an unusually strong reaction to UV that can present as a rash or blister. The reaction can occur for up to 2 weeks after you stop applying the gel. Keep the treated skin covered from direct sun.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I use Pirox Gel under a bandage?<\/h3>\n<p>Avoid tight occlusive dressings. A loose, breathable covering is acceptable.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I use Pirox Gel and an oral NSAID together?<\/h3>\n<p>Only on medical advice. Combining topical and oral NSAIDs adds systemic exposure without much additional local benefit.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long can I use Pirox Gel?<\/h3>\n<p>Treatment courses are usually 7&ndash;14 days. Review with your doctor before continuing beyond that.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I apply Pirox Gel on my face or neck?<\/h3>\n<p>Avoid the face, eyelids, mouth, and mucous membranes. Neck application (e.g. for localised muscle pain) is acceptable on small, intact areas of skin.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Pirox Gel safe in pregnancy?<\/h3>\n<p>Avoid in the third trimester (NSAID class effect). In early pregnancy, use only if clearly needed and on medical advice.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Will Pirox Gel stain my clothes?<\/h3>\n<p>No. The gel is clear and dries without residue. Allow 2&ndash;3 minutes absorption before dressing.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can children use Pirox Gel?<\/h3>\n<p>Ikke anbefalt for barn under 12 \u00e5r uten medisinsk r\u00e5d.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What should I do if I develop a rash?<\/h3>\n<p>Stop using Pirox Gel and contact your doctor.
