Arthritis Overview

Arthritis is a general medical term used to describe a disorder in which the smooth cartilagenous layer that lines a joint is lost, resulting in bone grinding on bone during joint movement. Symptoms generally include joint pain and stiffness. Other symptoms may include redness, warmth, swelling, and decreased range of motion of the affected joints.

Meloxicam and Tylenol

Recently started taking meloxicam for painful lower extremities. I take 7.5 mg once a day. Can I take 2 tylenols at night to avoid too much meloxicam since I still have some pain? Also, I saw online an additive to water etc called buzz drops which contain cbd and thc. Can I use this while taking meloxicam? I normally like a glass or 2 of wine a day but want to avoid alcohol due to possible stomach issues. ## For Meloxicam with Tylenol - yes, you can take Tylenol with Meloxicam. They work in different ways and don’t clash. A normal dose of Tylenol at night is usually safe, just don’t go over the daily Tylenol limit (3,000 mg per day for most adults), and avoid it if you have liver problems. As for taking Meloxicam with CBD/THC, they don’t directly interact with meloxica...

Meloxicam and wine

Just started on 7.5mg once a day for bursitis of the hip. I enjoy a glass or 2 of wine a day. Is this ok? ## It’s usually okay to have a small amount of alcohol while taking meloxicam, but there are a couple things to keep in mind. Meloxicam is an NSAID, kind of like a stronger version of ibuprofen. Both meloxicam and alcohol can irritate your stomach. When you mix them, the chance of things like stomach pain, heartburn, or even stomach bleeding goes up — especially if you drink a lot. For most people, having one glass of wine, and sometimes two, is probably fine as long as: - They don’t have a history of stomach ulcers or bleeding - They aren’t taking other meds that irritate the stomach - They drink with food - They stick to small amounts If you ever notice bla...

meloxicam 15 mg for after bunion surgery

I had bunion surgery 7 wks ago. my foot is still swolen and in a lot of pain. I took my 1st 15 mg Meloxicam last evening and was wondering how long it takes to take effect. Also it seems that most people have been prescribed Meloxicam for muscle pain and arthritis do you think it's appropriate for me since mine is an acute injury? I'm a bit fearful of taking this med due to it's possible side effects. ## Hello, Renee! How are you? The FDA classifies Meloxicam as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that is used to treat pain, fever and swelling, so yes, it can also be used for problems such as yours. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation. It should have some pain relief properties shortly afte...

A pink oblong pill with BP CAR on one side and 100 MG on the other side.

Charlote Arthritis Mexican pain pill

My wife, age 84, had arthroscopic surgery on her knee 15 years ago with little benefit. Lately she has had the rooster shots with no benefit. A few days ago she was in agony and friend gave her "Charlote Arthritis" pills from Mexico. The relief was almost instantaneous. She takes two per day and is pain free. The list ingredients are: oak, white willow, magnesium, chamomile, and one item, about 7 letters, too blurred to read. ## Where or how can I get some. I have taken them for my Lupus symptoms and it is an all day relief of pain that nothing else has been able to provide. I cannot find them anymore since the person who used to get them is no longer available. ## El Centro Super Center, Nuevo Progresso, Tamp, MX Hurry before Trump screws up everything and closes the border. ##...

Is Meloxicam Gluten Free?

I have been taking meloxicam for 1 1/2 weeks and I am experiencing celiac symptoms. I would like to know if meloxicam is gluten free. ## Meloxicam is actually a generic medication, the name brand for it would be Mobic and, since it is a generic, it is manufactured by several different companies. Thus, I can't tell you anything about the inactive ingredients without more information from you, such as the markings on the tablet, or the name of the manufacturer. Can you please post back with this information? ## I would like to know if gluten is in my meloxicam. It's an oblong light yellow pill with a 15 stamped on it. I'm expericening floating, constipation, and stomach pains. ## Is taking muscle relaxers 500mg and meloxicams 7.5mg and buspirone 10mgs okay to take all in the m...

Meloxicam and Sumatriptan

Can I take these two medicines together? I normally take Sumatriptan for migraines. I fell on the ice and hurt my shoulder and the Orthopedic has me taken 1 Meloxicam a day. I have a bad migraine and need to know if I can take a Sumatriptan. ## While I haven't come across any drug interactions or contraindications suggesting that it's unsafe to take the two together, I think it would still be wise to consult your prescribing doctor just to be on the safe. That way they can cross-check for other determining factors as well based on your medical records. You can also read more about each medication in the links below: [1] Meloxicam [2] Sumatriptan Hope this helps!

Charlotte Arthritis pills from Mexico

I would like to order Charlotte Arthritis pills from Mexico and have them mailed to me. How do I do that? Are Charlotte Arthritis pills available over-the-counter? ## Can't ship them from Mexico, you have to go over there to get them. ## Do they still make these pills, and if so, where can I purchase them?
