Can Meloxicam And Cymbalta Be Taken Together?
Hi, I am just wondering if taking Meloxicam and Cymbalta together is ok. I also take Losartan? My doctor prescribed both these meds for my osteoarthritis in both my knees. I have severe pain 24/7. and unable to sleep at night. I took Meloxicam last year for a frozen shoulder for a month. I didn t notice any less pain!

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Yes, Meloxicam can be taken with Cymbalta, both of they may work to reduce pain. However prolong use of Meloxicam should be avoided as they can cause stomach ulcer and kidney problems. It can be taken for short time like few days to a month.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Mahboob Ur Rahman
