A member asked:

To answer your question about a few beers. i began taking meloxicam 3 days ago for a knee injury. would 5-6 beers be okay? and i took the pill 7 hours ago

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Careful Ulcer risk: alcohol plus meloxicam increases the risk of gastric ulcers and bleeding. 5 to 6 beerrs seems to be very heavy. You need to discuss with your physician because maybe there is something else you can be treated with rather than Meloxicam that won't increase at risk
