Efficacy and Safety of Piroxicam Patch versus Piroxicam Cream in Patients with Lumbar Osteoarthritis

The piroxicam patch is effective in the treatment of lumbar osteoarthritis and has demonstrated to be well tolerated and it improves patients compliance. The piroxicam patch offers a comparable alternative to the marketed piroxicam cream for the treatment of lumbar osteoarthritis with the advantage of a better compliance with the once a day application of the patch compared to three daily applications for the piroxicam cream.
