[Evaluation of the anti-inflammatory effect and tolerability of tenoxicam in short-team treatment of osteoarthrosis in the aged].
The authors report their experience with short-term (10 days) tenoxicam treatment in 20 patients with osteoarthritis at various localizations. The drug was administered at the following dosages: 20 mg twice daily for the first two days, and 20 mg daily for the following 8 days. Treatment proved effective in controlling pain and functional impairment. No dropouts due to side effects nor significant changes of laboratory parameters were observed. Therefore, tenoxicam may be considered an effective and well tolerated non steroid antiinflammatory agent for the treatment of active stages of osteoarthritis.
