Feldene (Piroxicam) capsules should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. This usually involves taking one capsule per day by mouth, with a full glass of water (8 ounces/240 milliliters). To reduce the risk of stomach upset, take Feldene with food, milk, or an antacid. Do not lie down for at least 10 minutes after taking this drug.
The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration consistent with individual patient treatment goals. Do not increase your dose, take it more often, or take it for a longer time than prescribed. If you are taking Feldene on an as-needed basis, remember that pain medications work best if they are used as the first signs of pain occur. If you wait until the pain has worsened, the medication may not work as well. If you experience any unusual symptoms, you should consult your doctor immediately.
