Feldene side effects
Question: What are expected side effects from Feldene or Peroxicam (20 mg daily), especially relating to blood pressure.
Answer: Gastrointestinal side effects are the most prominent side effects, occurring
in approximately 20% of patients, which include bleeding, ulceration, and perforation. Borderline
elevations of one or more liver tests may occur. Other side effects include Anemia, eosinophilia,
skin rash, dizziness, vertigo and worsening of the kidney functions. Since this drug can have
kidney toxicity it can cause elevation in blood pressure.
