Warnings

The recommended adult dose of tenoxicam is 20 mg taken once daily. Some people may require lower doses to control pain and inflammation. Higher doses are not recommended as they do not provide any additional benefit.

Tenoxicam should be taken at the same time each day and immediately after a meal or after food to avoid stomach upset.

Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.

It is important to take Tenoxicam exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

Store Tenoxicam at room temperature and keep it out of the reach of children.

Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.

Before you begin taking a medication, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or Allergies you may have, any medications you are taking, whether you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and any other significant facts about your health. These factors may affect how you should use Tenoxicam.

HEALTH CANADA ADVISORY

June 8, 2021

Health Canada has issued new information concerning the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). To read the full Health Canada Advisory, visit Health Canada's web site at www.hc-sc.gc.ca.

A previous advisory on non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) was issued on October 30, 2020.

Heart disease: Like other NSAID medications, tenoxicam may cause fluid retention and swelling. This increases the amount of work your heart must do, causing increased blood pressure and heart failure. People with a history of heart conditions should discuss with their doctor how Tenoxicam may affect their medical condition, how their medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Tenoxicam, and whether any special monitoring is needed.

History of stomach ulcer or stomach bleeding: Tenoxicam may cause stomach problems. If you notice signs of bleeding from the stomach, such as bloody or black tarry stools or vomiting a coffee-ground like substance, stop taking Tenoxicam and get medical attention right away.

People with a history of stomach ulcers or stomach bleed should discuss with their doctor how Tenoxicam may affect their medical condition, how their medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Tenoxicam, and whether any special monitoring is needed.

Kidney function: Like other NSAID medications, tenoxicam increases the risk of decreased kidney function. People with reduced kidney function should discuss with their doctor how Tenoxicam may affect their medical condition, how their medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Tenoxicam, and whether any special monitoring is needed.

Liver function: People with reduced liver function should discuss with their doctor how Tenoxicam may affect their medical condition, how their medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Tenoxicam, and whether any special monitoring is needed.

Potassium levels: There is a risk of high blood potassium levels with NSAID treatment. People most at risk include seniors; those having conditions such as Diabetes or kidney failure; and those taking beta-adrenergic blockers, angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, or some diuretics (water pills). While on tenoxicam, your doctor will periodically monitor your blood potassium levels.

Vision: Blurred or decreased vision have been reported by some people taking tenoxicam. If you experience any changes in vision, speak to your doctor immediately. If you are receiving tenoxicam for an extended period, your doctor may periodically request that ophthalmic exams be done.

Pregnancy: Tenoxicam should not be used during pregnancy unless the benefits outweigh the risks. If you become pregnant while taking Tenoxicam, contact your doctor immediately.

Breast-feeding: Tenoxicam passes into breast milk. If you are a breast-feeding mother and are taking tenoxicam, it may affect your baby. Talk to your doctor about whether you should continue breast-feeding.

Children and adolescents: The safety and effectiveness of using Tenoxicam have not been established for children and adolescents less than 16 years of age.

Seniors: Seniors are more likely to experience the harmful effects of Tenoxicam. Lower doses may be required.
