Melox (meloxicam) is used to manage inflammatory joint disorders and acute pain.

- Osteoarthritis: reduces joint pain and improves function in patients with degenerative joint disease. - Rheumatoid arthritis: alleviates inflammation and stiffness in affected joints. - Ankylosing spondylitis: diminishes spinal pain and improves mobility. - Acute pain: provides rapid relief of short‑term musculoskeletal discomfort.

Melox may cause a range of adverse reactions.

Common Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal discomfort: nausea, dyspepsia, or abdominal pain. - Headache: mild to moderate intensity. - Dizziness or vertigo. - Peripheral edema: mild swelling of the limbs. - Elevated blood pressure.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal ulceration or bleeding. - Cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction or stroke. - Hepatic enzyme elevation or liver injury. - Severe skin reactions including Stevens‑Johnson syndrome.

Before prescribing Melox, clinicians should consider several safety measures.

- Assess gastrointestinal risk: evaluate history of ulcers or bleeding. - Monitor blood pressure: watch for hypertension during therapy. - Use lowest effective dose: limit exposure while achieving therapeutic effect. - Avoid in known hypersensitivity: discontinue if allergic reactions occur. - Store at room temperature: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture.

Melox can interact with other medicines, requiring careful management.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): increased bleeding risk. - Other NSAIDs or aspirin: additive gastrointestinal toxicity. - Lithium: potential for elevated lithium levels. - Methotrexate: enhanced toxicity. - ACE inhibitors or ARBs: possible reduction in renal function.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Diuretics: may affect renal clearance. - Antihypertensives: possible attenuation of blood‑pressure control. - SSRIs: modest increase in bleeding tendency. - Corticosteroids: heightened gastrointestinal risk. - Cyclosporine: increased nephrotoxicity potential.
