Meloxicam (Mobic) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to treat pain and inflammation. It reduces the production of pro-inflammatory hormones (prostaglandins) in the body, which helps alleviate pain, swelling, and stiffness.
Osteoarthritis (OA):
Used to relieve pain, swelling, and stiffness in adults with degenerative joint disease.
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA):
Prescribed for adults to reduce inflammation and joint pain caused by autoimmune arthritis.
Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA):
Approved for children 2 years and older to treat joint pain and swelling.
Moderate to Severe Pain (Anjeso Brand):
Used for short-term pain management in adults, often post-surgical pain or acute musculoskeletal conditions.
This medication should only be used under medical supervision due to the potential for serious cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and kidney risks.
To comply with Canadian International Pharmacy Association regulations you are permitted to order a 3-month supply or the closest package size available based on your personal prescription. read more
Meloxicam (Mobic) is often prescribed when over-the-counter pain relievers are ineffective or when long-term NSAID therapy is necessary. It is preferred over opioids for chronic pain management as it does not carry a risk of addiction.
Doctors recommend it for:
Patients needing long-term pain management.
Individuals suffering from arthritis who require consistent pain relief.
Adults experiencing post-surgical or injury-related pain.
Because NSAIDs carry risks, Meloxidyl (Mobiac) should be used at the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration possible.
Meloxicam (Mobic) must be taken exactly as directed by a healthcare provider to ensure safe and effective use.
Oral Tablets, Capsules, and Disintegrating Tablets:
Take once daily with or without food.
Swallow whole—do not crush, chew, or split micronized forms of meloxicam (e.g., Vivlodex).
Intravenous (IV) Form (Anjeso):
Administered by a healthcare provider via a 15-second infusion for rapid pain relief.
Dosing Considerations:
Switching between different forms of meloxicam (e.g., oral to IV) may require dose adjustments.
Weight-based dosing for Children (JRA treatment) should be monitored.
A lower dose (7.5 mg) is recommended for individuals with reduced kidney function.
If a dose is missed, take it as soon as remembered unless it is close to the next dose.
Do not take extra medication to compensate for a missed dose.
Overdose symptoms may include vomiting, severe stomach pain, confusion, fainting, seizures, or breathing difficulties.
If an overdose is suspected, seek emergency medical care immediately or call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222 in the US or 1-844-POISON-X (1-844-764-7669) in Canada.

Chronic Conditions:

Alcohol Use:
Increases risk of gastrointestinal bleeding and liver damage.
To minimize complications and drug interactions, avoid the following:
Do Not Drink Alcohol:
Increases the risk of stomach ulcers and bleeding.
Avoid Using Other NSAIDs or Aspirin:
Combining multiple NSAIDs increases the risk of toxicity and side effects like bleeding ulcers.
Do Not Take with Certain Medications:
Antidepressants, blood thinners (warfarin), corticosteroids, diuretics, and lithium can interact dangerously. Always talk with your healthcare providers about all your treatments, including over-the-counter products, to ensure they can be used safely together.
Limit Sun Exposure:
NSAIDs may increase skin sensitivity, leading to a higher risk of sunburn.
To maintain medication stability and safety, store Meloxicam (Mobic) properly:
Keep at room temperature (68°F to 77°F / 20°C to 25°C).
Avoid exposure to extreme heat or humidity (do not store in bathrooms).
Keep out of reach of children and pets.
Properly dispose of expired or unused medication through a pharmacy or medical facility.
