I am trying to identify a oblong yellow pill with C on one side and 30 on the other any help is appreciated ## Hello, Lee! How are you? I'm sorry, but so far, I've been unable to find a listing that matches this description. Can you please double check the imprint and post back? I'm wondering if it's possibly an over the counter product, of some type. I'll keep looking and post back, when I have information for you. Does anyone else recognize this tablet? ## I was looking for the same pill. I found out instead of it being C 03 it was C on one side and 80 on the other and is Meloxicam 15 mg

I have been taking NSAIDS for the past 21 years. The last 10 years it has been Meloxicam 15mg/day. Over the past 7 years I have steadily become allergic to many things. I am now severly allergic to corn, soy, wheat, nuts and mold. My Asthma is now severe. The Meloxicam was no longer able to control the pain from my arthritis so a year ago out of desperation I went gluten free and found that my Arthritis was so much better but I was still going into anaphylactic shock over things I was eating that I had never had a reaction to when I was younger. I am now 58 years old. Over the past year I have gone into anaphylatic shock 16 times and I am now gluten free, corn free, soy free and nut free. In the past month I was still having some allergic reactions and heard that Meloxicam and other dru...

I have osteoarthritis in my spine, knees and hips and have recently developed severe pain in both arms, extending to the fingers on my right hand, worse on getting out of bed in the morning. I was taking Panadol Osteo two three times a day which didn't really help much so my doctor prescribed Mobic. It helps a lot but not completely so am wondering if I should keep taking Panadol Osteo as well as Mobic? Also, is it necessary to have a few days break from Mobic every so often? I take Sotalol for AF, Perindopril for blood pressure, Apixaban as a blood thinner and Carbimazole for hyperthyroidism. I have asked my doctor and pharmacist these questions but am still confused as to what I should safely do even though I have read all the information available. ## Hello, Janice! How are you? ...

Hi. I have chronic lower back pain that prevents me fro walking more than 50 yards at a time. I also have a severely arthritic left ankle that is painful. I will likely get a STAR replacement. I am on blood pressure, diabetes, depression, and anxiety meds. Will 15mg of Meloxicam help me? ## What other medications do you take? I am sorry, but I can't really answer your question without more details. Meloxicam is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, and according to NIH studies, it may be contraindicated with some medical conditions, such as high blood pressure, it may also react with some other medications. Can you please post back with the names of the others you are currently taking? Thank you!

Hi my doctor prescribed meloxicam 15 mg for me however he had prescribed 7.5 in the past so I take the low dose instead however I still have pain in my hip can I take a OTC pain pill as we'll. ## Hello, Cat! How are you? Meloxicam is a pretty potent NSAID, so it would be best not to combine it with anything else, without your doctor's permission. Have you tried taking the 15mg he has prescribed, now? That might help you pain more adequately. Side effects to this medication may include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation. ## Hello , hope all is well.

I am taking Meloxicam 15 mg for my Carpel Tunnel, but it takes forever to work. Can I double up on the dosage? ## Hello, Kim! How are you? I'm sorry that you're in pain. The FDA classifies Meloxicam as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, which means that there is some risk of stomach ulceration, bleeding and liver damage, especially with higher doses, thus, it would be best not to raise your dosage, unless your doctor approves. Is there anything else I can help with? ## No, I thank you for your advice and help. Besides Meloxicam is there any medication that I can use for my Carpel Tunnel? ## Can Meloxicam be used for sore muscles? Worked out for the first time in a while and have severe muscle soreness.

i found some pills in my room that are small, white, and oval with the number 15 on one side and they are blank on the other side. Please help me figure this out. Thank You ## Based on your description, the closest match is a light yellow (could be mistaken for white?) oblong tablet with 15 on one side and blank on the other. A picture is available for verification at this URL: If this is what you have, then it's Meloxicam 15 mg, manufactured by Lupin Pharmaceuticals. If this isn't a match, then can you please include any other details you can think of? Please post back if you have any other questions or information to add... ## I take that tablet, also, and what is described is probably meloxocam, but the image shown greatly exaggerates the shade of yellow.

would it be dangerous if I take my medical marijuana while on a meloxicam prescription? ## Hello, Rummpa! How are you? No, marijuana has not been known to cause any problems or interactions with any prescription medications, so far. That's why so many doctors are in favor of its use. However, combined with the side effects of the Meloxicam, which is classified by the FDA as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, you may experience more dizziness, drowsiness and dry mouth than usual. Other Meloxicam side effects may include headache, stomach irritation and increased risk of bleeding. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Marijuana and effexor have a bad reaction together.

Is it ok for me to take Meloxicam 15mg after expiration (3/16/2016 to 3/16/2017)?

Can Meloxicam 15mg and Oxycodone be ingested together for sciatica pain relief?
