What happens if you taken M Cam7,5mg after the expiry date. ## Hello, Melanie! How are you? Meloxicam is classified as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that's used to treat pain, fever and swelling. Its typical side effects, as listed by the U.S. FDA may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation. It doesn't become dangerous after the expiration, but it does start to lose effectiveness. The best thing to do would be to dispose of them and see your doctor for a new prescription. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Can it be used on sore heel?

Is there a difference between 7.5 MG Tab zyd And just 7.5 MG? ## Hi Teresa, Based on my research, "zyd" apparently stands for the manufacturer (Zydus Pharmaceuticals USA) and should correspond with a National Drug Code of 68382-050. I guess on some labels pharmacies feel the need to include the name/abbreviation of the company who makes it, as a secondary means of reference.. Especially since so many people are now coming to terms with the fact that certain manufacturers produce better quality meds than others. I hope this info helps!

I have been taking Mobic 15MG for 10 days and I can't tell its helping me at all with my inflammation in my back and neck, plus I have a pinched nerve. How long does it take to start working on this? Also I have been taking a prescribed dosage of Potassium Chloride 10MEQ (what it says on the prescription bottle) but been on the Potassium for a few years. Is this a bad combo? Could this be why I'm hurting worse in the shoulders and neck/back of head? Wondering since Mobic increases sodium levels if I should stop taking my Potassium? Please help.. Thanks ## Hello, Tony!

I take 7.5 mg. my hands still hurt and are swollen. 2nd day to take them. I scraped glue off a floor for several days and night and my hands and fingers are so swollen and very painful . ## Merry Christmas Joyce, Sorry to hear about the pain in your hands and fingers. Scraping glue off a floor for several days/nights sounds like it would do that to just about anyone though. But I hope you're able to find some level of relief from taking the meloxicam. Based on your description, my guess is that it may be a while before the swelling subsides. However it seems like you're using the right preventative measures w/ a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug to keep it from getting any worse. Have you also considered looking into supplements like Turmeric/Curcumin as a secondary option for...

I am taking Meloxicam 15 mg for my Carpel Tunnel, but it takes forever to work. Can I double up on the dosage? ## Hello, Kim! How are you? I'm sorry that you're in pain. The FDA classifies Meloxicam as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, which means that there is some risk of stomach ulceration, bleeding and liver damage, especially with higher doses, thus, it would be best not to raise your dosage, unless your doctor approves. Is there anything else I can help with? ## No, I thank you for your advice and help. Besides Meloxicam is there any medication that I can use for my Carpel Tunnel? ## Can Meloxicam be used for sore muscles? Worked out for the first time in a while and have severe muscle soreness.

Hello, I am a new meloxicam user - pinched torn meniscus and knee arthritis. I felt pain relief the first day I took it - yippee.

## I am having problems when I started taking this drug,now that i am off it it has left severe back problem in which i need help out of bed every morning. ## The problem could actually be caused by your stopping the drug abruptly. Since it reduces inflammation, it might have been reducing it in an area of your spine where you have damage or swelling and then by stopping it, your body is unprepared to regulate that condition on its on, kind of a withdrawal effect, and the pain and inflammation has gotten worse. I would recommend speaking to your doctor so they can check out the problem and see exactly what is causing it.
