Use Of Meloxicam Infrequently (Top voted first)

Updated

I only take Meloxicam when I feel that I need it. Most times I take the 15mg tablet once a week. Does that make my exposure to long term side effects less?

Hello, Bill! How are you?

According to the FDA, yes it would. Long-term side effect risks are usually based on someone taking it regularly for a long period of time, not occasional use.

Typical side effects for Meloxicam may include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation.

Is there anything else I can help with?
