Meloxicam Is Good Or Bad?

Gonza Says:
I am taking meloxicam 7.5 for RA and I feel great, I came back to a normal life, now the doctor tells me that I can have a heart attack as a result from taking this medication, is this a possibility based on the fact that it elevates the blood pressure or the fact is that it hamrs the heart? So confused, If I stop taking the only medication that has been helping me, probably I will be in a wheel chair soon.

Hello, Gonza! How are you?
Meloxicam is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, so yes, there can be risks associated with long-term use of it. It may elevate your blood pressure, which could create the risk of a heart attack, stroke or congestive heart failure. It also creates the risk of developing liver damage or failure.
What other medications have you tried? There are other options, such as mild narcotics, that do not contain NSAIDs that may be safer for you.
