A member asked:
Mom was prescribed meloxicam for pain in low back and leg, so far taken 1 15mg pill for 6 days, still in pain, how long until it should be effective?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Taking too long: This medication should not require this long to "kick in." time to let the doc know the drug isn't working.

Fairly quickly: If Meloxicam does not work in 2 weeks forget it.
