Safely Buy Mobic ( Meloxicam ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Indications

Mobic is an anti-inflammatory medication used to treat pain, inflammation, and stiffness caused by osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Meloxicam is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that selectively inhibits cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and prostanoid synthesis in inflammatory cells. These inhibitory actions allow Mobic to reduce inflammation and pain related to both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

This anti-inflammatory drug offers similar beneficial effects to non-selective NSAIDs with fewer gastrointestinal adverse effects. Mobic is generally well-tolerated and helps reduce symptoms of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis such as pain, swelling, and stiffness.

Uses and Dosage

The dose of Mobic prescribed will vary depending on the individual and condition being treated. Always follow your doctor’s instructions and read packaging labels carefully.

• Swallow tablets whole
• For osteoarthritis, most adults take 7.5mg once daily
• For rheumatoid arthritis, adults tend to take 7.5mg daily
• Adults shouldn’t take more than 15mg daily
• Use lowest effective dose for shortest duration necessary
• Do not give to children younger than 2 years old
• Store at room temperature away from heat and moisture

Cautions

Meloxicam can increase your risk of having a fatal heart attack or stroke, especially if used long-term, taken at high doses, or if you have heart disease. Seek immediate medical attention if you develop chest pain, weakness, shortness of breath, slurred speech, or problems with your vision or balance.

Do not use Mobic immediately before or after heart bypass surgery.

Mobic may cause stomach or intestinal bleeding which can be fatal. This can occur without warning during treatment, especially in older adult patients. Call your doctor right away if you have black, bloody, or tarry stools, if you cough up blood, or if your vomit looks like coffee grounds.

Avoid drinking alcohol and smoking while taking Mobic because these can increase your risk of internal bleeding.

Do not use Mobic if you have ever had an asthma attack or a severe allergic reaction after taking aspiring or another NSAID.

Avoid taking aspirin while using Mobic unless your doctor instructs you to do so.

To ensure Mobic is safe for you to take, tell your doctor if you have ever had any of the following:

• Heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, or if you smoke
• A heart attack, stroke, blood clot
• Ulcers or stomach bleeding
• Asthma
• Kidney or liver disease
• Fluid retention

If you are pregnant, only use Mobic if your doctor explicitly tells you to. Taking any NSAID during the last 20 weeks of pregnancy can cause complications and may lead to serious heart or kidney problems in your baby.

Meloxicam may impact your ovulation and delay your body’s release of an egg. Do not take Mobic if you are undergoing fertility treatment or are trying to get pregnant.

Consult with a doctor or pharmacist before using any other medications for pain, fever, swelling, or cold or flu symptoms. These medicines can contain similar ingredients to Mobic.

Ask your doctor before using Mobic if you take an antidepressant. Some antidepressant medications can cause you to bruise or bleed more easily when taken with meloxicam.

FAQ

Should I take Mobic at night or in the morning?

You can take your single daily dose of Mobic at any time of the day without reducing the medication’s effectiveness. Mobic is recommended to be taken with food to help prevent stomach upset but this also won’t impact the drug’s effectiveness. Take your dose whenever it works best for you but try to take it at the same time each day.

What’s the difference between meloxicam and ibuprofen?

Both meloxicam and ibuprofen are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) that reduce inflammation, but Mobic is considered stronger and is only approved to treat symptoms of arthritic conditions. Ibuprofen treats general pain and inflammation without the need for a prescription.
