Meloxicam is an NSAID that reduces inflammation and pain in musculoskeletal disorders.

- Osteoarthritis: reduces joint pain and improves functional ability. - Rheumatoid arthritis: alleviates inflammatory joint symptoms and swelling. - Acute musculoskeletal pain: provides rapid relief of pain and stiffness. - Post‑operative pain: helps control discomfort after surgical procedures.

Common Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal discomfort or dyspepsia. - Headache. - Dizziness. - Injection‑site pain or erythema. - Mild skin rash. - Transient increase in blood pressure.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal ulceration or bleeding. - Severe skin reactions such as Stevens‑Johnson syndrome. - Acute renal impairment or failure. - Hepatic dysfunction with elevated enzymes. - Anaphylactic or severe hypersensitivity reactions. - Cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction.

Before using Mobic, consider the following precautions: - Assess renal function: avoid in severe renal impairment. - Monitor hepatic enzymes: use cautiously in liver disease. - Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration needed. - Avoid in patients with known hypersensitivity to NSAIDs or aspirin. - Exercise caution in individuals with cardiovascular disease or uncontrolled hypertension. - Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original container, protect from moisture and light.

Meloxicam may interact with several medicines.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): increased bleeding risk. - Other NSAIDs or COX‑2 inhibitors: additive gastrointestinal toxicity. - ACE inhibitors or ARBs: heightened risk of renal dysfunction.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Diuretics: may exacerbate renal impairment. - Corticosteroids: increased gastrointestinal ulcer risk.
