Can the 2 medicines be taken together? Meloxicam and oxycod/apap ## Hello, Deb! How are you? I didn't find any problems or interactions listed between these two medications, so it should be fine, if your doctor approves, but it's always best to double check. The FDA classifies Oxycodone/Acetaminophen as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Meloxicam is classified as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that's used to treat pain, favor and swelling.Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation. Is there anything else I can help with?

Oblong shape, T imprint on one side. 153 on the other. Smaller then a 10mg loratab ## @curious, You never mentioned what color the pill was? So far I've only found one other description online suggesting that a 'yellow' oblong pill with 153 on one side and T on the other is identified as a 15mg generic Meloxicam tablet. This medication is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug used for treating symptoms of osteoarthritis / rheumatoid arthritis. There aren't any other specific details or attributes listed on its size, country of origin, manufacturer, etc... however it's still the closest relevant match that I've seen to date. Hope this helps!

can meloxicam be taken with celecoxib ? ## Hi John, According to umm.edu's drug interaction checker, there are no interactions listed between Celecoxib and Meloxicam. This is not to say that no interactions exist period, but based on these findings I don't see any reason why you couldn't take them together unless instructed otherwise by your prescribing doctor. Also, as long as it was the same doctor who prescribed both meds, I highly doubt he/she would give you anything that couldn't be taken at the same time or at least within the same day, for safety reasons. They have to watch their own back just as much for risk of litigation if they ever did prescribe two contradicting drugs. I hope this helps!

Danger of Over dose on Meloxicam: I was given sample bottle of Meloxicam 15 mgs, to take "as necessary per route" as instruction said, so I took it TWICE a day, at morning and at night. Some of my blood word result levels are high and I am wondering if this overdose of Meloxicam has something to do with these high level results?! ## Hello, Barbara! How are you? What blood results were high? I'm sorry, but I'm unable to help you, without more information. Can you please post back and clarify? Thank you! Meloxicam is usually dosed just once a day in a maximum of 15mgs. The FDA classifies it as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that's most commonly used to treat pain, fever and swelling. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased...

I've been on Mobic for three days now,how long will it take for me to see if it's working. I have severe back problems. ## Hello, Patty! How are you? I'm sorry that you're in pain. The FDA classifies this as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, so similar to Advil or Motrin, it should start to have some effect within 15 to 20 minutes of taking it, though it may take about 4 weeks, before it reaches its full level of efficacy in your body. Have you gotten any pain relief, at all, from it? Typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation.

My doctor has prescribed Meloxicam & Xljanz. Are they safe taken together? ## Hi pinnie, According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, there are no drug interactions listed between Meloxicam and Xeljanz (tofacitinib citrate). Based off this information alone, I wouldn't have any reason to believe that you couldn't take the two together... especially since your doctor prescribed them both to you at the same time. I can't blame you though for being extra cautious, as there have been who knows how many instances where doctors mistakenly prescribe two drugs that interact with one another. Hope this helps!

I've been taking Meloxicam for about three days now, for wrist pain. I had an MRI and it showed two small cysts in my wrist. The pain is still there, and it's nearly unbearable since I work in production. Should I ask my Dr. For something else, or continue to take it and hope for the best? I've read about melocxicam and it seems to work for people with arthritis, but I have cysts. Did my Dr. Make the right call? ## Hello, Casey! How are you feeling? I'm very sorry that you're in pain. Do you know what type of cysts they are? Is this the only thing your doctor prescribe? Usually, an antibiotic and/or a steroid are used for cysts, to try to reduce their size and get them to go away. Meloxicam is listed by the FDA as an NSAID, it is used to treat pain, fever and swellin...

I just started taking meloxicam. My stomach has become extended quite a bit. In my research I have found that patients who have bipolar disorder (like me) have the problem of distended abdomen. The med is taking the edge off my fibro pain, and I want to keep taking it, however, I am uncomfortable and my pants are tight. Is there any treatment for this problem? If I drink more water, will these help? ## Hello, basil46! How are you? Meloxicam is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory, so it can cause some excess stomach acid, that may contribute to bloating, but there is also a risk of stomach ulceration, so you should have this checked out by your doctor. According to the FDA, other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, increased risk of bleeding and headache. Your doctor might also be ...

This isn't a question but more of a notice to everyone to mske sure you ask your doctor questions before getting on this medication. I am anemic and had a blood transfusion & waa on Meloxicam 7.5. My doctor always watched me on it & asked if i was ok. I had gotten in a car accident & that doctor upped the mg to 15 even after i told her aboyt my condition. I took ut for awhile but wasn't feeling right. I went to my doctor & he took me off it right away all together. I feel better. Glad i talked to my doctor ## Hi Tracy, I couldn't agree more with you on the notion that we should be asking our doctors more specific questions relating to whatever medication they intend on prescribing us.

How long I can take this without abuse it for anti inflamatory ## Abusing a medication occurs when you keep taking more and more of it to get high, or because you like the effects it has on you, it is not the same as long term use, if you are taking it as prescribed. Meloxicam is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory and it can cause some problems with long-term regular use, such as stomach irritation, which could turn into ulcers and easier risk of bleeding, so you should consult your doctor on how long it is safe for you to use it.
