This is due to allergy to meloxicam. Allergies occur when your immune system reacts to a foreign body. Foreign body may medicine like meloxicam, pollen, animal dander, dust and insect venom etc. When you have allergies, your immune system makes antibodies that identify a particular allergen as harmful, even though it isn't. Severity of allergy may range from rash to life-threatening anaphylaxis.
