Question : I took 1 meloxicam on Wednesday and Thursday mornings, and passing of urine decreased. then on Saturday urine had a synthetic odor and "razor blades" similar to urinary tract infection which I had several years ago. Should I take anything to alleviate the problem?

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

With this added information, you most likely have a UTI. You will need in addition to the above measures antibiotics. Antibiotics can only be gotten with doctor's script and I encourage you to talk to your primary care doctor for treatment.

I wish you well.
