Can You Take More Than 15mg Meloxicam A Day
UpdatedMy primary dr said take one 15mg meloxicam a day. Went to the orthropedic dr. and since my pain is unbearable at night, he told me I could take two 15mg meloxicam a day. Who do I believe?

The usual maximum dose is 15mgs daily, according to FDA reports. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach irritation, and an increased risk of bleeding. Taking more can create a risk of your experiencing dangerous gastrointestinal and cardiovascular events.
It would be best to speak to your doctor about adding another medication, or switching to something else.
Is there anything else I can help with?
