Piroxicam is a \u003cstrong\u003enon-steroidal anti-inflammatory\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the patch form serves to take it where it is needed without letting it all pass through the stomach: the levels in the blood that are reached this way are much lower than those of the tablet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe name says the most useful thing to know. \u003cstrong\u003eUnidie\u003c\/strong\u003e it means \u003cstrong\u003eone patch every twenty-four hours\u003c\/strong\u003e, only one at a time, and never two on the same day.

Larger and more severe photosensitivity reactions and skin and mucosal reactions, including asthma attacks, are possible. Systemic adverse reactions following the topical use of piroxicam are unlikely; since the plasma levels obtained are lower than those measured after systemic administration but highly variable from individual to individual, it is not possible to exclude, especially in the case of prolonged therapies beyond the recommended term and non-observance of contraindications and warnings, the appearance of systemic side effects, especially at a gastrointestinal level ((see the section \"What are the warnings for Flector Unidie 14 mg 10 piroxicam medicated plasters?\")). The possible appearance of general side effects or at the point of application requires suspension of therapy. Cases of fixed drug eruption with unknown frequency (frequency cannot be estimated from the available data) have been reported with piroxicam ((see section \"What are the warnings for Flector Unidie 14 mg 10 piroxicam medicated plasters?\")). Reporting of suspected adverse reactions Reporting suspected adverse reactions that occur after authorization of the medicinal product is important, as it allows continuous monitoring of the benefit\/risk balance of the medicinal product. Healthcare professionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions via the national reporting system at https:\/\/www.aifa.gov.it\/content\/segnalazioni-reazioni-avverse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eINTERACTIONS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich medicines or foods can change the effect of Flector Unidie 14 mg 10 piroxicam medicated plasters?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe use of piroxicam-based patches is unlikely to have interactions with other medicines. However, the possibility of competition between the absorbed piroxicam and other drugs with high binding to plasma proteins cannot be excluded. Do not use the medicine together with other drugs for oral or local use, containing piroxicam or other NSAIDs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePREGNANCY AND BREASTFEEDING\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan Flector Unidie 14 mg 10 piroxicam medicated plasters be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePregnancy and breastfeeding Flector Unidie is contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding and is not recommended in women intending to become pregnant.

Analgesics, antipyretics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, including piroxicam, can cause hypersensitivity reactions, potentially serious even in subjects not previously exposed to this type of drugs. These include asthma attacks, skin rashes, allergic rhinitis and anaphylactic-type reactions. Flector Unidie should be used with caution in subjects with chronic obstructive bronchial diseases, allergic rhinitis or inflammation of the nasal mucosa (nasal polyps) in which asthmatic attacks or localized inflammatory reactions of the skin and mucosa (Quincke's edema) are more frequent. Use caution in patients with a history of peptic ulcer, in patients with a history of gastrointestinal bleeding not secondary to the administration of NSAIDs or with other bleeding disorders, in patients with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, with severe hepatic or renal dysfunction or with heart failure. Prolonged or repeated use of products for skin use can give rise to sensitization phenomena. In the presence of hypersensitivity reactions it is necessary to interrupt therapy. Caution should be used when treating elderly patients who are generally more susceptible to adverse events. After a short therapy without results, consult your doctor. To avoid any phenomena of hypersensitivity or photosensitization, avoid exposure to direct sunlight. Skin reactions Cases of fixed drug eruption (FDE) have been reported with piroxicam. Piroxicam should not be reintroduced in patients with a history of piroxicam-related FDE. A potential cross-reaction with other oxicams may occur.
