I've Run Out Of 15mg Meloxicam

I've been prescribed 15mg of Meloxicam tablets and take it every morning after breakfast but I've run out. Can I take 2x 7.5mg tablets instead? Also, is there a difference between the capsules and tablets?

Yes, you can double up on the others, unless your doctor instructs otherwise.

The U.S. FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding, and stomach irritation.

I am not aware of there being any difference.

Is there anything else I can help with?
