Mobic

Mobic (Meloxicam) is an NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) with anti-rheumatic properties. It is indicated for the treatment of pain and swelling occurring as a result of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and other conditions. This medicine exhibits its analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting the action of cyclo-oxygenase (COX), so as to prevent the synthesis of inflammatory prostaglandins (substances that can contribute to swelling and pain). It is therefore considered by many physicians to be an effective choice for pain and inflammation relief.

Mobic (Meloxicam) comes as 7.5mg strength tablets, and they are intended for oral use. Deciding and determining the daily dosage regimen will be the responsibility of your physician. Adults taking this medicine for the symptomatic relief of rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis are sometimes directed by the physician providing treatment to start out with 7.5mg per day. In some cases, the physician may decide to make changes or adjustments to the dosage schedule, however, you must not take more than your physician directs you to administer as this could place your health at risk.
