Updated

I went see my primary doctor for low back pain and gave me meloxicam 15mg to take once a day with food. Will it be safe to take?

Hello, Vic! How are you?

If you have chronic gastritis, you shouldn't take any nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, such as the Meloxicam. They can be very harsh on the stomach and can cause gastritis, or gastritis flare ups as side effects.

Other side effects, as listed by the FDA, may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache and increased risk of bleeding.

Is there anything else I can help with?

tyvm, i'll call my doctor to see if he can prescribe something that's not NSAID, tylenol alone doesn't seem to help very much.
