Meloxicam is a medication used to treat arthritis pain, swelling, and stiffness.
If you have chronic arthritis, talk to your doctor about other treatment options besides medication.
Dosage and administration
Take meloxicam exactly as directed by your doctor. Read the information leaflet from your pharmacist each time you get a refill.
Meloxicam usually comes as a tablet, capsule, liquid, or disintegrating tablet. Follow specific instructions for each form (with or without food, water amount, etc.).
Take meloxicam once daily at the same time each day.
It may take up to two weeks to feel the full benefit of meloxicam.
Side effects
Meloxicam may cause stomach upset, nausea, dizziness, or diarrhea. These are usually mild and go away on their own.
Tell your doctor if any side effects are bothersome or do not go away.
Talk to your doctor before taking meloxicam if you have allergies to it, aspirin, other NSAIDs, or any other medications.
Mention any medical history to your doctor, especially asthma, liver problems, stomach/intestinal issues, heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, blood problems, or growths in your nose.
Meloxicam can cause dizziness, so avoid driving or operating machinery until you feel safe. Alcohol and marijuana can worsen dizziness, so limit their use.
This medication may increase your risk of stomach bleeding. Limit alcohol, tobacco, and discuss these risks with your doctor.
Meloxicam can make you more sensitive to the sun. Protect yourself with sunscreen and wear protective clothing outdoors.
Inform your doctor or dentist about all medications you take before any surgery.
Older adults may have a higher risk of side effects.
Women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant should consult their doctor before taking meloxicam.
