What Is Meloxicam?

Possible Uses

Meloxicam seems to reduce inflammation in the body. However, as a strong medication, it may not be used for general aches. That may be where individuals will try ibuprofen. However, this medication appears to be helpful for treating pain and swelling from arthritis. This may include treating stiff and tender joints too. It seems that this medication may help treat several forms of arthritis, including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. The former may be a common part of aging, though the other appears to be due to a problem with the patient's immune system. Both types seem to trigger joint swelling and pain. However, it may not treat all forms, so patients should consider speaking to their doctor first.
