If I Take 15 Mg Of Meloxicam Daily Can 10 Prednisone

Updated

I take 15 mg of meloxicam daily for degenerative arthritis. I also have been prescribed 20 mg of prednisone for gout. Can I take the prednisone now if I took my meloxicM 4-1/2 hrs ago?

Hello, Kanakagurl! How are you?

Actually, these medications tend to increase the toxicity of each other and increase the risk of gastrointestinal ulceration. Thus, before mixing them, it would be best to check with your doctor to make sure that it is safe for you to do so. You may need to go off the Meloxicam, while on the Prednisone.

Prednisone is a steroid that may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, fluid retention, mood swings, weight changes and elevated blood pressure.

Is there anything else I can help with?

I just took my last dose of medrol this morning. It has done nothing for my pain for the past 6 days. My dr also gave me meloxicab to take after I was done with the prednisone. My question is how long do I have to wait before I can take the meloxicab?

I take them at the same time as prescribec by my cardiologist. But only for ten days. Then I go back for my tendknitues check up. No side effects so far. Thankfully. I also take losartan, atorvastatin, aspirin, and diltiazem. I am 52 yrs old. Just sharing.
