Pain Management
What does pain management involve?
Pain management is a broad treatment goal rather than a single type of medicine. Depending on the cause and pattern of pain, care may involve non-medicine measures, physical rehabilitation, topical treatments, simple analgesics, anti-inflammatory medicines or other prescription therapies. The appropriate approach depends on the condition being treated, your medical history and advice from a qualified health professional.
What should you consider before choosing an anti-inflammatory medicine?
Anti-inflammatory medicines are generally considered when pain is associated with inflammation, such as in some joint and musculoskeletal conditions. Selection should take account of the diagnosis, other medicines and health conditions, as well as the prescriber's treatment goals. Medicines in this category are not automatically interchangeable, so use the product and strength prescribed for you.
What pain management product do we list?
We list Feldene, an oral capsule containing piroxicam, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It is available in confirmed 10 mg and 20 mg strengths. The 10 mg option comes in packs of 30, 60, 90, 120, 180 or 360 capsules, with prices from A$33.44. The 20 mg option comes in packs of 60, 90, 120, 180, 270 or 360 capsules, with prices from A$107.92.
What is the position in Australia?
Piroxicam is a Schedule 4 prescription-only medicine in Australia, so a prescription from an authorised prescriber is required. This classification applies to piroxicam; it does not describe every medicine that may be used for pain management. Registration and supply of a particular capsule strength and sponsor should be confirmed against the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods where relevant.
