Meloxicam 7.5mg 100 pills

Meloxicam is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by reducing hormones that cause pain, fever, and inflammation in the body.

Meloxicam is used to relieve pain, tenderness, swelling, and stiffness caused by osteoarthritis (arthritis caused by a breakdown of the lining of the joints) and rheumatoid arthritis (arthritis caused by swelling of the lining of the joints).

Warnings

• Meloxicam can increase your risk of fatal heart attack or stroke, especially if you use it long term or take high doses, or if you have heart disease. Even people without heart disease or risk factors could have a stroke or heart attack while taking this medicine.
• Do not use this medicine just before or after heart bypass surgery (coronary artery bypass graft, or CABG).
• Get emergency medical help if you have chest pain, weakness, shortness of breath, slurred speech, or problems with vision or balance.
• Meloxicam may also cause stomach or intestinal bleeding, which can be fatal. These conditions can occur without warning while you are using this medicine, especially in older adults.
• Call your doctor at once if you have symptoms of stomach bleeding such as black, bloody, or tarry stools, or coughing up blood or vomit that looks like coffee grounds.
• Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol as they also increase your risk of stomach bleeding.
