How long for mobic (meloxicam) to work?
4 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Up to 2 weeks: If you haven't seen an effect by 2 weeks of daily, maximum use, then it's not likely to have any effect. Most of my patients notice an effect within the first 3-7 days.

Meloxicam: Meloxicam should be taken once daily. Usually, it is taken with food in the morning.

About an hour: Mobic (meloxicam) is a nonsteroidal anti inflammatory medication. If you are taking it fir pain, it should kick in after about 30-60 minutes. If you are taking for inflammation, say with a tendonitis, it may take a few days to a week for the affects to be noticed. Hope you feel better!
