Meloxicam is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain, tenderness, swelling, and stiffness caused by osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. It works by reducing hormones that cause pain, fever, and inflammation in the body. Meloxicam belongs to a class of drugs called NSAIDs, which help reduce pain, inflammation, and fever. It is available in three forms: an oral tablet, an injection, and an oral capsule. Meloxicam is a prescription drug, and the dosage prescribed by the doctor depends on several factors, including the type and severity of the condition being treated and the patients age. It is important to take meloxicam as prescribed by the doctor, and to inform the doctor of any allergies, medical conditions, or medications being taken, as meloxicam may cause bleeding in the stomach or bowels, and may interact with other medications.
