Dear Patient,
since your question is not quite clear:
if you want to stop taking meloxicam, it doesn't matter what time you are stopping it, you can stop it any time. Then you will have to see if the (to be assumed) pain comes back (since it is a pain medication).
If you want to take it, take it in the mornings. It is generally recommeded only to do daily intake for several week (around 3 weeks). Longer intake can increase cardiovascular risk like thrombosis, heart attack or stroke.
It is advisable talking tou your treating doctor about changing any medication. Hope this is helping you , if you have any clarificatons you can get back to me, if this was helpful please kindly rate my answer. Best regards
