Meloxicam And Lab Work
Updated
jlw Says:
I was just prescribed 15mg of Meloxicam to start taking. I had been taking 600-800mg of Ibuprofen & was told it was safer, along with a low dose of oxycodeine which I'm really trying to do without. I'm recovering from a shoulder replacement & also have arthritis in other shoulder. I'm very much the nervous type when it comes to drugs. How often should I request blood work?

There is no set schedule, but if you're taking it regularly, most doctors will check your liver levels every 3 to 4 months to be careful.
The typical side effects of Meloxicam, as reported by the FDA, may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation.
Is there anything else I can help with?
