Osteoarthritis
"I have been taking Piroxicam 20mg once daily for several years, mostly for bad knees and as a general anti-inflammatory.  I take it in the morning with breakfast.  It works very well for me, with no side effects at all.

I am very careful to always take it with food and milk, and I have my liver enzymes tested yearly.

I chose this NSAID for several reasons:  1)It is a low dosage taken once a day; 2) It appeared to have fewer gastrointestinal issues than others; 3) I cannot take Naproxen; 5) Unlike Lodine or Vioxx, it does not give me any sensation of being mentally &quot;drugged&quot;;  6) As a generic, it is EXTREMELY inexpensive (&lt; $10/100 pills)."
