A member asked:
I'm taking meloxicam for year now for my chronic nerve pain, is it safe taking it for years daily .. what maintenance should i do to make it safe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is a safe drug: Although Meloxicam (Mobic) is being marketed as a COX-2 inhibitor, it is classified in the Physician's Desk Reference (PDR) as a nonselective nonsteroidal analgesic because it has higher COX-1 inhibitory effects than the other COX-2 inhibitors. Nevertheless, Meloxicam is more potent against COX-2 and is more favorable to the GI system than other nonselective NSAIDs. Ask your PCP for more info.
