Feldene

Let me tell you about Feldene. It’s one of those agents that, when you’ve been in practice long enough, you develop a very specific relationship with. It’s not a first-line darling like some of the newer COX-2s or ibuprofen for the masses, but in the right patient, with the right presentation, it’s a remarkably effective tool. I’m talking about piroxicam, of course. A long-acting, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that’s been around since the 80s.
