A member asked:
Is it ok to take meloxicam if i have high cholesterol, i have shoulder bursitis and have to take it but my doc wouldn't explain to me of the safety ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Meloxicam: Although meloxicam is being marketed as a COX-2 inhibitor, it is classified in the Physician's Desk Reference 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. High cholesterol is a risk factor.
