Objective: The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of virgin olive oil phonophoresis on female athletes' anterior knee pain (AKP). Materials and Methods: A double blinded randomized clinical trial was conducted. Ninety-three female athletes suffering from AKP voluntarily participated in this study. Patients were randomly assigned into olive oil (n=31), piroxicam (n=31) or bas...

Achieving a desirable percutaneous absorption of drug molecule is a major concern in formulating dermatological products. The use of penetration enhancers could provide a successful mean for this purpose. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of incorporating a few common penetration enhancers (in different concentrations) into a 0.5% w/w piroxicam (model drug) gel formulation, on th...

In this single blind, randomized, comparative evaluation of nimesulide transdermal gel (Nimesulide Trans gel) versus diclofenac and piroxicam gel in acute musculoskeletal conditions, two hundred and seventy-six patients were analysed for assessing the efficacy and safety of these gels. More number of patients got better relief in pain and inflammation parameters with nimesulide transdermal gel ...

The current investigation aims to evaluate the transdermal potential of niosomes bearing a potent non-steroidal anti-inflammatory, piroxicam. Piroxicam-loaded niosomes were prepared and characterized for surface morphology, entrapment efficiency and in vitro permeation across excised rat skin from various proniosome gel formulations using Franz diffusion cells. Various non-ionic surfactants wer...

INTRODUCTION During recent years, there has been growing interest in use of topical vehicle systems to assist in drug permeation through the skin. Drugs of interest are usually those that are problematic when given orally, such as piroxicam, a highly effective anti-inflammatory, anti-pyretic, and analgesic, but with the adverse effect of causing gastrointestinal ulcers. The present study invest...

Tenoxicam is a nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug, used in the treatment of inflammatory and degenerative disorders of the musculoskeletal system. It is from the oxicam group of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agents. It is widely prescribed for the treatment of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, gout, extraarticular disorders, bursitis, tendonitis, and nonarticular rhe...
