Taking Meloxicam With Mitral Valve Prolapse

I have MVP and take propanolol and was recently prescribed meloxicam for arthritis. Is it okay to take the meloxicam with having mitral valve prolapse?

Hi debbie,

Based on my research, Meloxicam is contraindicated for the treatment of peri-operative pain in the setting of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. I haven't found anything specifically relating to MVP in that regard. But one review I've come across from another MVP patient (who happened to be taking Meloxicam), mentioned that their heart was acting strange on this medication and they had to switch to another muscle relaxer. Although it is important to understand that these medications can effect each person differently, so unfortunately the only way to know for sure how it effects you, is to go by trial and error and check in with your doctor as often as you can.

You may also want to have a look at the "warning" section of Meloxicam to get a better understanding of the potential cardiovascular risks involved with taking it: dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/lookup.cfm?setid=8fad5c7c

I hope this info helps!
