I have gastritis and pvc's.my dr gave me mobic (meloxicam) for side pain and i'm not sure if he remembered these conditions.mobic (meloxicam) 15mg safe to take?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly not: Mobic (meloxicam) (and other NSAIDs) can cause gastritis or even gastric ulcers and bleeding. They must be avoided or used with caution in a patient with known gastritis. If the NSAID is truly needed, take it with food and also a drug like Prilosec (omeprazole) to reduce acid production in the stomach.
