title: Use of 20-mg Hotemin capsule and suppository in rheumatological practice.
abstract: The 20 mg piroxicam (Hotemin) capsule and suppository were efficacious and tolerable according to data of literature and own clinical observations in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, knee and hip arthrosis, as well as ischialgia. The increase in the daily dose is not accompanied by the more frequent development or aggravation of the adverse effects. Both preparations may be used as the first choice in the mentioned diseases and, moreover according to data of references, in case of other rheumatological diseases as well.
