Frequently asked questions about Meloxicam

Meloxicam (generic for Mobic) is a prescription drug used to relieve symptoms of arthritis, including inflammation, swelling, stiffness, and joint pain.

Arthritis is a common condition caused by inflammation and swelling in your joints. More prevalent in older individuals, arthritis affects more than 54 million Americans.

Looking for a safe, effective way to manage your arthritis symptoms? Talk to your doctor about meloxicam.

Meloxicam is used to treat the symptoms of osteoarthritis (arthritis that is caused by a breakdown of the lining of the joints), rheumatoid arthritis (arthritis caused by swelling of the lining of joints), and juvenile arthritis (arthritis in young people). It is sometimes used to treat ankylosing spondylitis (arthritis that mainly affects the spine). Meloxicam may occasionally be prescribed for uses other than the treatment of arthritis. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.

Meloxicam belongs to a family of drugs known as NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). In short, meloxicam targets COX-2, an enzyme in your body that is responsible for causing swelling, inflammation, and discomfort of the joints. Blocking this enzyme reduces and alleviates the pain and inflammation caused by arthritis.

While there are some common side effects associated with meloxicam, it is important to remember that doctors prescribe this medication because its benefits generally outweigh its side effects.

The most common side effects associated with meloxicam are diarrhea, constipation, indigestion, heartburn, sore throat, and gas. Talk to your doctor if any of these are severe or don’t go away.

Talk to your doctor right away if any less common, but serious, side effects occur including:

Chest pain, weakness, shortness of breath, slurred speech, problems with vision or balance Tarry, black, or bloody stools Vomit that looks like coffee grounds or coughing up blood Rapid weight gain or swelling (particularly of the ankles/feet)

Let your doctor know of all allergies you may have as well as a complete list of medications (prescription and over-the-counter), vitamins, and supplements that you’re taking. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant.

The use of NSAIDs such as meloxicam may increase the risk of serious cardiovascular events such as heart attack and stroke. They may also increase the risk of adverse gastrointestinal events such as bleeding, ulceration, and perforation of the stomach or intestines.

This is not a complete list of meloxicam side effects. For more information regarding precautions and possible side effects, please visit the National Institutes of Health’s DailyMed webpage.

You may notice some changes to pain, swelling, tenderness, and stiffness within 24 to 72 hours of taking meloxicam. However, it might take longer to notice a large difference in pain levels and up to two weeks before meloxicam begins working in full effect.

The starting dose of meloxicam will be individualized to suit each patient’s needs; however, the typical starting dosage of meloxicam is 7.5 mg taken once daily. It may be taken with or without food and should be taken at the same time every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you don’t understand. Take meloxicam only as directed.
