Tenoxicam 20 mg OD was compared with piroxicam 20 mg OD for patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). One hundred and two patients from 5 centers were enrolled: 51 in the tenoxicam group and 51 in the piroxicam group. Evaluation of the primary efficacy variables demonstrated no difference in efficacy between treatment groups. The overall incidence of adverse clinical/laboratory experiences was similar between treatment groups. Six patients discontinued the study because of gastrointestinal intolerance, 3 from each treatment group. Our study demonstrates that tenoxicam 20 mg OD and piroxicam 20 mg OD have similar efficacy and safety in patients with active RA.

D000894 Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory agents that are non-steroidal in nature. In addition to anti-inflammatory actions, they have analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions. They act by blocking the synthesis of prostaglandins by inhibiting cyclooxygenase, which converts arachidonic acid to cyclic endoperoxides, precursors of prostaglandins. Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis accounts for their analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions; other mechanisms may contribute to their anti-inflammatory effects.
