Mobic Dosage

Updated

I am taking 7.5 mg of mobic once a day and my dr. increased the dosage to 15mg. once a day. Wouldn't it be better to take 1 7.5mg in the a.m. and another 7.5mg in the early evening ?

My question is the same as Jan's. Can I take 7.5 mg bid for better relief and coverage. I take 15 mg in am and then by night time, the pain is severe again and I cannot sleep.

yes you can take 1 7.5 in the am and one in the pm. In doing so you will be able to keep the med in your system and it will work threw out the day versus it only helping for part of the day. Also it takes up to three week for a med to be in you system well enough to help you actually start to feel the full effects.

It really depends on what works for you, I split up most of my medications and take them more than once a day, because they work better for me that way. Usually, many doctors will prescribe something to be taken once a day, in order to try to keep someone in compliance and make sure they take a medication every day.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding, and stomach irritation.

How are you doing, now, Jan?
