Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Can Meloxicam Be Taken For A Prolonged Period Of Time?
I have had wonderful success with meloxicam 15 mg. My question is, how safe is this med to take long term? I m having zero of the side effects listed, and the results are so good, I will ask my dr to continue it. Is this a long-term medication fix? I can t tell by reading different sites.
Yes, you can take Meloxicam to treat arthritis for long term. However, should pay attention to any possible side effect like those cardiovascular, liver/kidney issues or possible GI bleeding.
Continuation of the drug will depend on both:
- your progress
- and possible side effects
Hope I have answered your query.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
