Meloxicam Tips from Pharmacists

• You can take meloxicam with or without food. If you experience stomach upset, taking meloxicam with food or milk might help.

• Take your meloxicam tablet at around the same time every day. This will help you remember to take your medicine.

• If you take daily aspirin, talk to your healthcare provider about the safety of taking meloxicam. Taking aspirin and meloxicam together can increase your risk of bleeding.

• People who are allergic to aspirin or another nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug are at a higher risk of having an allergic reaction to meloxicam. Tell your healthcare provider if you have any medication allergies.
