Warnings

Kidney Use With Care

Meloxicam can be used in patients with mild and moderate kidney disease. No dose adjustment of Meloxicam may be needed. In severe renal failure, dose should be less than 7.5 mg per day. Please consult your doctor before usage.

Alcohol Not Advisable

GI bleeding, ulceration or perforation has been reported with NSAIDs at any time during treatment. Consuming alchol while on Meloxicam are added risk factors.

Pregnancy Not Safe
