Mobic (Meloxicam) Prescriptions Available Online Today

Meloxicam does not cure arthritis, but it can help control symptoms by reducing pain and inflammation. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like Meloxicam work by blocking specific enzymes as well as reducing prostaglandins, which are chemicals that trigger inflammation in the body.

While a certain amount of inflammation in the body is required for healing, chronic inflammation in the case of arthritis is not beneficial. NSAID medications can help reduce the prostaglandins in the body and thus reduce total inflammation and pain.

Meloxicam will be prescribed by your doctor, and the dosage can vary from person to person. Here is a general guideline for dosage ranges when it comes to taking Meloxicam, broken down by the condition you are taking it for.

Meloxicam for Osteoarthritis: For patients with osteoarthritis, the starting dose is generally 7.5 mg daily, and can be adjusted by your doctor if needed.

Meloxicam for Rheumatoid Arthritis: For those with rheumatoid arthritis, the starting and maintenance dose is also generally 7.6 mg daily with room to adjust if needed.

Meloxicam for Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis: In patients with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, the dose may be 7.5 mg depending on weight.

No matter what you are taking Meloxicam for, the maximum dose is 15 mg per day.

Meloxicam is available in three different forms – tablet, suspension, and capsule -and your doctor will decide which form will work best for you and your treatment plan. When taking Meloxicam, you should continue to be monitored by your doctor to determine if the dose is working for you.
