HelloPharmacist Bottom Line
Our Pharmacist Explains
What is this? The interaction data in the HelloPharmacist supplement database is licensed from Natural Medicines Pro by TRC Healthcare (Therapeutic Research). HelloPharmacist pharmacists often add our own analysis and context on top of that licensed data — such as this Bottom Line summary and the notes on individual interaction pages — and any such commentary is noted as ours.

Piroxicam (Feldene) is a potent, long-acting NSAID for arthritis pain, and since it already carries real stomach-bleeding risk on its own, my honest read is that this page calls for genuine caution rather than a quick skim. Most of the 285 interacting supplements share a single problem: they thin the blood or blunt platelets, stacking bleeding risk on top of what piroxicam brings. Alcohol is the everyday standout, with both beer and wine rated major for gastrointestinal bleeding.

A few of the worst entries pull in other directions. Two major-rated botanicals can damage the kidneys, an organ NSAIDs already stress, and activated charcoal can soak up piroxicam before it ever works, so keep the two well separated. Roughly twenty entries add sun sensitivity, and several dozen affect the liver enzyme that processes the drug. The 242 moderate and 36 minor entries can wait; get clear on the seven majors first.

What Severity, Likelihood & Evidence Mean

Severity — How Serious It Can Be

  • Major. Clinically significant; generally best avoided, or used only under direct professional supervision.
  • Moderate. May need monitoring, a dose adjustment, or separating the times you take each one.
  • Minor. Generally not clinically significant, but still worth noting and mentioning to your pharmacist.
  • No known interaction. Checked against our sources with nothing documented — not the same as proven safety.

Likelihood — How Well It’s Documented

  • Likely. Well-controlled human studies have demonstrated the likely existence of this interaction
  • Probable. Interaction has not been documented in well-controlled studies, however, the interaction has been demonstrated in some small human studies or in controlled animal studies in conjunction with multiple case reports.
  • Possible. Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists
  • Unlikely. Interaction has been demonstrated in animal or in lab research but has been shown not to occur in humans.

Where This Data Comes From

  • Interaction records are evidence-graded and sourced from the Natural Medicines database (TRC Healthcare), the same reference used by pharmacists and hospitals.
  • Each entry links to a full report with the clinical detail, likelihood, evidence level, and citations for that exact combination.
  • Content is reviewed by licensed HelloPharmacist pharmacists — see our data sources and editorial standards.

How Does Our Interaction Checker Work?

Behind every verdict on this page is a category system. Our source database doesn’t document supplement interactions drug-by-drug — it documents them against groups of medications that behave the same way (for example, “drugs processed by the CYP3A4 liver enzyme” or “blood-thinning medications”).

So the check works in three steps: (1) Piroxicam is classified into the pharmacology categories it belongs to, (2) every supplement interaction documented against any of those categories is inherited by Piroxicam, and (3) each ingredient keeps its own severity, likelihood, and evidence grades from the underlying record. That’s why one supplement can carry several records for one drug — it may interact through more than one category.

Piroxicam sits in 9 interaction categories. Open any one to see what the group means:

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs 202 ingredients

Blood-thinning medications. Supplements with their own effects on clotting or platelets can add up with these drugs and raise bleeding risk.

202 of the supplement ingredients on this page reach Piroxicam through this category.

Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates 64 ingredients

A drug-metabolism group: these medications are processed by the named liver enzyme (a cytochrome P450). Supplements that speed this enzyme up or slow it down can lower or raise the medication's levels in your body.

64 of the supplement ingredients on this page reach Piroxicam through this category.

Photosensitizing Drugs 20 ingredients

Medications that make skin more sun-sensitive. Supplements with the same property can compound it.

20 of the supplement ingredients on this page reach Piroxicam through this category.

Oral Drugs 17 ingredients

A pharmacology grouping from our source database: medications in this group share a property that certain supplements are known to interact with, so an interaction documented for the group applies to every drug in it.

Piroxicam & Supplements: Common Questions

What supplements interact with Piroxicam?
Our database currently documents 285 ingredients with a known Piroxicam interaction (7 major, 242 moderate, 36 minor). The practical move: scan the major group first, then look up the exact supplements you take rather than reading all 285. The highest-ranked right now: Siberian Cocklebur, Activated Charcoal, Beer.
Which Piroxicam supplement interactions are the most serious?
Focus on the major group: Siberian Cocklebur, Activated Charcoal, Beer, Danshen and Piracetam, among others. A major rating means the combination can be clinically significant, not that harm is guaranteed — but it's exactly the kind of thing to run past your pharmacist before your next dose, not after. Jump to the ranked list.
Can I take vitamins or supplements while on Piroxicam?
Plenty of supplements coexist fine with Piroxicam; a shorter list does not. Rather than memorizing it, check the specific ingredients on your labels — the ranked list above covers every one we've checked, and multi-ingredient products can be checked label-by-label with our scanner. Try the label scanner or the interaction checker.
Do brands like Feldene have the same supplement interactions as Piroxicam?
Yes — Feldene, Feldene Gel all contain Piroxicam, so everything on this page applies to them equally. Interactions belong to the active drug, never to the brand on the box; the same is true of generics.
Where do these interaction ratings come from?
Every rating comes from the Natural Medicines database — the same evidence-graded reference pharmacists and hospitals use — and each interaction carries three separate grades: severity (how bad it can be), likelihood (how well it's documented in studies and case reports), and an evidence level. Our pharmacists review the content; we never let an AI decide an interaction. See how to read the ratings and our editorial policy.
Does Piroxicam deplete any vitamins or nutrients?
It might — Piroxicam has 2 reported nutrient-depletion associations in the research literature, which is a different question from interactions: instead of a supplement changing the drug, the drug may lower a nutrient over time. See the Piroxicam nutrient depletion report for the specifics and what to discuss with your pharmacist.
What about Piroxicam and my other medications?
This page covers Piroxicam against supplements and herbal ingredients. Checking Piroxicam against your other prescription or OTC medications is a different tool — our drug interaction checker covers that side. Head to the drug–drug interaction checker, or read the full Piroxicam drug information.
