Can You Take More Than 15mg A Day Of Meloxicam (Top voted first)

Updated

Dr has put me on Meloxicam for the arthritis in my hands and shoulders, ever sense I have been on it I have had a low grade headache. It seems to work well having reduced the pain in my hands but this headache is something I don't want to live with. Is a headache a common side affect of this drug. My doc seems to think it will go away in time.

I started this drug. 15mg. Two hours after taking this I experience numbness of my upper lip and side of my nose. Should I stop taking this drug. Is this a common side effect? I'm was given this drug for shingles pain.

Yes, headaches can be a normal side effect of this medication, according to the FDA. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, increased risk of bleeding, and stomach irritation.

Annie, no those are not normal side effects and you should consult your doctor.

Is there anything else I can help with?
