About this Item
Living with pain and inflammation from arthritis can be difficult and stressful. However, medications are available. Meloxicam is a prescription drug that is commonly used to help relieve the painful symptoms of arthritis.
Meloxicam is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is often prescribed to treat arthritis. It is an enolic acid that belongs to the oxicam group of NSAIDs

Product Benefits (What it Treats)
Meloxicam decreases inflammation and pain. It?s approved to treat:
? osteoarthritis ?

? rheumatoid arthritis ?

? juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) in children ages 2 years and older ?

Other Essential Uses (Important points to note)
Meloxicam is approved to treat pain and inflammation that results from rheumatoid and osteoarthritis in adults, and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis in children who are at least two years old and weigh at least 60 kilograms. It is sometimes used off-label to treat ankylosing spondylitis, a type of arthritis that affects the spine.
The main symptoms meloxicam treats are pain, stiffness, swelling, and tenderness of the joints. In one study, patients with osteoarthritis in the knee and hip showed significant improvement after 12 weeks of taking meloxicam compared to placebo.
For minor aches and pains, some people take an over-the-counter NSAID like Advil (ibuprofen) or Aleve (naproxen). However, over-the-counter ibuprofen or naproxen may not work as well as other NSAIDs for more severe pain. A healthcare provider may recommend to stop taking the over-the-counter pain reliever and instead take meloxicam, a prescription NSAID that is stronger than ibuprofen.

Note:
Meloxicam should only be taken as prescribed. A healthcare provider normally prescribes the lowest dose that is effective enough to relieve symptoms. It should only be used for the shortest time necessary to relieve symptoms.

Who can?t take this
Meloxicam should not be taken in people who have a known allergy to meloxicam or those who have experienced asthma, itching, or other allergic-type reactions after taking aspirin or an NSAID.
