A member asked:

Been in meloxicam daily for 2 yrs. now i stop insted i take ancorxia 120mg every 4 days. does it is more safer than the daily for chronic pain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Equivalent: The risks are very similar however, if you are only taking Arcoxia only every 4 days it is the safer agent.
