Used For:

Meloxicam is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to treat pain and inflammation associated with conditions such as:

• Osteoarthritis
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Ankylosing spondylitis
• Acute pain from injuries or surgery

It works by inhibiting the enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2) responsible for producing prostaglandins, which cause inflammation, pain, and fever.

Side Effects:

Common side effects may include:

• Upset stomach or indigestion
• Diarrhea or constipation
• Headache
• Dizziness

Less common but more serious side effects:

• Stomach ulcers, bleeding, or perforation (especially with long-term use)
• Kidney problems (e.g., reduced kidney function, fluid retention)
• High blood pressure
• Heart problems, including heart attack or stroke (especially with prolonged use or in people with existing cardiovascular conditions)
• Severe allergic reactions (rash, swelling, difficulty breathing)

Precautions:

• Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible duration to minimize the risk of serious side effects, such as gastrointestinal or cardiovascular issues.
• Avoid use if you have a history of stomach ulcers, gastrointestinal bleeding, or severe heart disease.
• Monitor kidney function and blood pressure regularly, particularly during long-term use.
• Meloxicam can interact with other medications (e.g., blood thinners, diuretics, certain antidepressants), so it's important to discuss all medications with your healthcare provider.
• Alcohol should be limited, as it can increase the risk of stomach bleeding and liver problems when combined with meloxicam.
