MELOXICAM | Common Side Effects and Who Should Avoid it!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 июл 2024
- Meloxicam is one of the most common medications prescribed. It is part of the family of medications called Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatories and is used primarily to treat arthritis pain. It can be a great medication to treat your pain as it is simple to take being only once a day. It is not without concerns though. Side effects tend to be similar to other anti-inflammatories and can be hard on your kidneys if taking high doses for long periods of time. In this video we'll discuss the other important side effects that you should watch out for as well as who should be more careful or even avoid taking it.
Thanks for watching!

I also think diet has a major role in inflammation
Very informative and well presented. Thank you.
I have cycled off and on, tylenol, ibuprofen and meloxican, taking each for about 10 day's each. Tylenol exhibited the least amount of side effects but also was the least effective in pain management, ibuprofen provided a better level of pain management but I would experience stomach discomfort. Meloxicam was really great for pain management, I felt no stomach discomfort but would experience complete loss of bowel control every few day's. For me Ibuprofen seems to be the most effectively balanced!
Works great on my stiff neck and gout attack. This is very informative, thank you! :)
Thank you for posting this information. It was very useful
My shoulder arthritis was terrible. Working the shoulders at the gym was painful. I take 3 10mg per week of Meloxicam and now have a pain-free balance for most of the week. No side effects and my workouts are much more productive with increasing strength 💪
Be careful & keep at it
Helped my knee! No complaints here!
Very informative 👍🙏❤️🙏
Very helpful thank you!!
Great job and information aloha coach Mundo
I’m 29 I hurt my back when I was 16 I’ve been suffering for YEARS gabapentin ibuprofen baclofen diClofenac NONE of it worked. Meló Has worked so great for me I’m so happy I actually wake up and feel no pain in my feet
I’m back. My doctor told me to lay off because it damages the liver. I’ve been back in pain :(
@@angelicag6821 That sucks i feel for you at least i made it into my 40s before the pain set in
@@angelicag6821I don’t understand how they can even prescribe this stuff! I just read the warnings and side effects. Yeah, that’s just what I need to have my heart, kidneys and god knows what else permanently damaged because these doctors can’t actually cure my pain from a herniated disc. This is crazy that something like this is even legal!
@@angelicag6821I've taken it since 2011. My internal med doc told me that it was ruining my liver. My belly stayed swollen and I had constant GI bleeds. I'm never taking this ever again.
How many dose you take sir, ? Thanks❤
Hello Dr. I have an off topic question. My son has neuro problems like Arachnoiditis and then he woke up to having blisters on his neck, face, Shoulder etc all on the same side. Took him to the ER and the doc said possible shingles. That's what it ended up being but the pain got so bad that we returned and he said it was PHN. He prescribed gabapentin. It's barely taking away the pain. It's been about 9 days since he first got the rash.
He has sleep apnea and the head gear in the back of the neck is really hurting him but he needs to wear his mask. What do think I can use to help with the pain?
Thank you kindly for your videos.
I took it and Ibuprophen for years but I have high blood pressure. Now I only take it when I get an injury or something with severe inflammation. As soon as I back off the NSAIDS, my BP goes down.
Thanks Doctor!🥂🇺🇸✨
Which properties are in meliixocam & how it works
A very close friend of mine was taking two tablets of Meloxicam (sold as Mobic) for ten years for his ankylosing spondylitis (spinal fusion) and he just died last week of renal failure. He rarely got medical check-ups and only went to the hospital when he suffered some chest pains during an insomnia episode. His BP was 235 / 140 (above the dead zone) at that appointment. I saw him go from a normal healthy person to a skeleton with flesh hanging off in 18 short months. Get off these drugs people!!! We cremated him last week. He got all the bad symptoms too late. RIP.
You're right. They also don't mention the damage it does to your liver.
Correlation isn't necessarily causation, so we can't just assume it was the Meloxicam that caused his renal failure.
@@DetVen according to two independent medical reports, it was.
@@ronaldsimmons9517hun, everything in excess and long term used of meds is bad specially this is NSAIDS. Sorry about your friend passing 😢
So your friend ignored checking his BP
I never really know when my pain will attack. At it's best, it's a very gripping stiffness. When it flares up, the pain is absolutely unbearable. It is bad enough
to suffer arthritis, but the damage is not in my hands or shoulders, - it's my spine. I've never heard of that before.
good info
This medicine gave me chronic fatigue. I was given a prescription with 90 pills and before i could finish the bottle, I got brain fog and after I stopped taking it I was unable to wake up in the mornings feeling refreshed to this day.
You shouldn't take it more than a week.
Do you feel better now? Did the fatigue go away?
@@thetony8959 No. I'm still tired 24/7. If i can nap, i may get a temporary boost. but that's if i can nap.
@@mysterionplays1621 wow, but you sleep and still feel tired or did it make you an insomniac ?
@@thetony8959 I sleep but still feel tired in the mornings.
I have acid reflux and cannot use naproxin or ibuprophren without it irritating my stomach. It sounds as though this medication is similar. I am hesitating to take it as I have had a problem with acid reflex in the last few days.
Thank you
Hello, What is the difference between xefocam and xefocam rapid ?Which one is better and why ?
Are lornoxicam and meloxicam the same medication or different ?What is the difference?which one is better?
Which of them has a longer effect?
Which of them is better than diclofenac and why ?
I was prescribed this years ago, and it didn't do a think for me then so stopped taking them. I recently found the full bottle and tried again and found it helped a lot more than double dosing Aleve and IB, so now take one on Sunday and Monday as I bowl Monday night and it helps with my joint pain. Going to have to set up a visit to get it represcribed. Rather take this than Tramadol or any of the other pain killers because they really do not do a damned thing for the pain.
This was prescribed for me for my toes which heavy arthritis and it also work for my knees which I need a knee replacement on both knees but it works fantastic
I was just prescribed this drug, and came here after looking at the warnings and side effects. How can something like this even be prescribed? It sounds deadly to me!
Smart, I clearly didnt research this enough and even said the same thing to my friend today… so many side effects, so why is this even legal?
I literally only took 2 tablets and it’s been 6 days and I still feel really weird and tired all the time. I hope to god this crap goes away!
thank you
Can I take Meloxicam when I on antibiotics Amoxi Clav
It was prescribed by my vet and worked for my dog.
هلو دكتور عندي سكر يصير اخذ ابره من هذا العلاج
Doc I have suffered my lower back pain is it ok if I drink meloxicam every day?
Love this channel that came up in my feed. I'm a newly retired early RN, age 63. I have RA, fibromyalgia, and Now dx with myositosis. I've taken NSAIDs for years and have been in pain mgmt since 2011. I've recently moved to NC and a new pain mgmt doc. She rx gabapentin 100mg 3xd, oxycodone 2xd, and recently added meloxicam and prednisone 5mg daily. Shock and awe, my pain is down to a 3-4, from a constant 8 ! If only I could stop the arm and leg intermittent cramping for which I take magnesium and muscle relaxer. Any suggestions?
I started eating one banana a day for the potassium. No more leg cramps.
I Bet your pain is down🤣
Work out with weights and Lise weight
I have underactive thyroid gland
And just started taking melorem
Is it harmful
Pls advise
Meloxicam 15mg once a day makes my blood pressure go up 40+ points (systolic jumps from 122 to 166). I’ve stopped it and restarted it, and my blood pressure goes back to normal about 36 hours after I haven’t taken it, and goes back up the day after I do take it. I don’t know if it does this to everyone or not, but I’ll never take it again.
If you take it and have high blood pressure, try not taking it for a couple days to see if your blood pressure goes back to normal.
My husband was just prescribed this for his arthritic knee pain. He’s also on meds for high blood pressure so this concerns me. Worse, he won’t quit drinking alcohol while taking it. He doesn’t see it as a problem and I can’t seem to convince him otherwise. I feel that he’s now a time bomb waiting to happen. I fear that having a heart attack, stroke or bleeding ulcer from this might be the only thing to change his very stubborn mind about this.
@@AHouseDivided1998 pray for him and have faith in The Lord. Ask The Lord to change his heart and start listening to you.
@@AHouseDivided1998I can only imagine the damage it's doing to his liver with the addition of alcohol. Meloxicam caused my liver to swell and I had GI bleeds. I was miserable. My internal med doc "strongly" suggested quitting Meloxicam. I did. No more GI bleeds, my stomach isn't swollen, and I feel much better. Good luck to yall.
I stopped the Meloxicam and it e went down but started up again because I needed it for pain but now my primary wants me on BP meds but I know my BP is high because of the Meloxicam so I’m suppose to add another pill hard in the kidney!! What to do. Think I’ll skip the Meloxicam again see if I can go without because I really don’t want to start lisinopril for BP!
I am in need of a hip replacement and it’s changed my world. I can put weight down on my leg and I’m off my crutches 🩼
At 52 & after 4 back surgeries, I've taken daily Meloxicam since 2011. The most alarming thing, to me, was the effects on my liver and the gastric bleeds. So I lay off it from time to time. The relief to my gastrointestinal system is almost immediate; taking a day or two to notice comfort. The abdomen also has relief from bloating. But the pain in your joints will be twice as bad.
Agree
I ill used but rash in head small part in head under hair.
I know it didn't work so i stopped taking it when i dont notice a positive change.
It helped very little myt pain was or is truly rough at times
When my doctor prescribed it it was great but after 4 days I was retaining fluid my hands and my ankles and feet
I love the drug.
Gotta wonder is opiates and light physical activity is better than reduced inflammation and playing catch-up on choirs. No wonder heart failure is an issue - I feel great on the stuff. But is that good !?!
Hello darker may the Lord bless you and take care of you I'm so happy that I were able to send a message to you I'm taking a movie Melissa come I'm severe with arthritis doctor I'm in the power chair I got to see a big problem on my spine and goes to my buttocks the only thing that I noticed is I gain weight drinking the medicine and I get so dizzy I got epilepsy and drinking different kinds of medicine I got the heart problem cholesterol and I got a problem with my stomach and I got asthma can you please send me a message what are the things to be done how to take this medicine is it good for me for the long run thank you and I appreciate it
Just pray god will take all your pain away, At least thats what ive been told. Or you must be in pain cause your a sinner🤔🥴👹
My knee feel great with this pills 💊
I took this medication and I've been having shortness of breath I'm a type 2 diabetic
My Dr gave me mobic for pain.ive been reluctant to start taking new meds. Im glad you mentioned the SJS(Stevens Johnson Syndrome)
I have already gone thru that nightmare after heart surgery from antibiotics . I already have high BP. Im skipping this medication entirely.
Its only med that ease my knee and back pain
Only once a day to be taken mam??

Hi,gd evening po pwede po b yn s may ulcer
Bawal kasi matapang na gamot sya
Been taking Meloxicam for months don't think there is much difference
My doctor just prescribed this medication for me I have arthritis in my right shoulder I'm a 46-year-old mom of a two and a half year old baby she prescribed 10 mg but they did not have 10 they send 15 angry it said take with food twice a day should I take twice a day or one time daily because the doses is higher please let me know I'm waiting
Did you ask your doctor?
Take one pill at 15mgs once a day, 2 pills is too much.
I've been on this for years
how much you take daily? My doc prescr 15 mg's a day
Be sure to check your kidney function.
Been on it for two weeks. I now have rashes in a few places and my hands are shaking. Back to numb fingers
WOW! Somebody should be sued for millions! The FDA is so corrupt! This stuff isn’t safe, no way no how!
Wow. How are you feeling now? Did it go away?
Took 15 mg first dose last night and it made me nauseous about 5 hours later.
They should start you out at 7.5 ( 15 mg is too high if you have never taken it ) Also, be sure to eat a good meal before hand. ❤️
Poly Myalgia Rhumatica.
Does this help with sciatica pain.
YES
Nothing helps with sciatica pain😡😫
How right you are
it works great for me I take it in the morning and it last all day and nite. then i take it again the morning again.
Do you take 7.5mgs or 15mgs?
Considering this info, why would this be prescribed to someone who already has asthma, high blood pressure, hashimotos, and IBS?
“Because the benefits are seen to outweigh the side effects”.
I’m also asthmatic and this drug makes my chest tight.
Recently I’ve also had red patches appear on my skin, on my limbs which disappear when I stop taking meloxicam.
I have Autoimmune Graves’ Disease as well and take concerta for adhd..
I’m yet to meet a doctor that has a clue how these things react together and with me.
Yet to meet a doctor that cares. (UK)
@@ascgazz7347 I've found that most doctors don't have a clue about what they are prescribing, how they may interact with other meds, etc. They listen to the salesperson for the company that makes the drugs. Always check with your pharmacist.
If a person has ibs meloxicam or other nsaids are dangerous to take?
I’ve take Meloxicam for almost 2wks after total knee replacement. I got a rash on my leg, my roof of mouth and tongue is blistered and burning.
@@Mutombe Try everything first before surgery. Put it off as long as you can. Diet, exercise, vitamins, meditation. Quit sugar, alcahol, drugs etc.
My doctor just prescribed me this medication and I’m scared to take it.
I hope you didn’t take it. It’s severely screwed with me, I feel like I have chronic fatigue syndrome now. Happened within a day of taking the tablets.
You didn’t talk about giving you Dizziness like vertical because that what happened to me
Same! I was waiting for him to mention it..😢
I had no idea NSAIDs could have initiated my kidney stone.
I've suffered from muscle and joint pain daily for 20 + years and meloxicam works better than any supplement or prescription or otc medication and I've tried them all. It sounds like everyone complaining on here either has other medical problems already because they are horribly out of shape and don't take care of themselves or they just like to complain
Or all of the above
You’ve tried disclofenac and indomethcin?
Do you have high blood pressure? It could be Meloxicam causing it.
Thanks doc👍♥️
If you start vomiting blood, contact your physician…. Noted.
impact on liver?
I’m fairly sure it wrecks it. I base this opinion on the idea that if doctors say there’s a “ slight” chance of damage, that means there’s a certain chance of damage. I just was prescribed this stuff. The warnings on it were terrifying. I’m sorry, but this stuff doesn’t sound safe to me at all!
I don't want to take medication the rest of my life
Turmeric is a natural anti inflammatory.
How do you incorporate it into your diet?
How many mgs should I take it?
@@adoptada12pills
@@thetony8959pills
do not drink alcohol while taking this it caused severe stomach pain to me 🥵😭
Took one two days ago and my liver has been killing the last few days.
If you drink alcohol while taking it it will hurt you bad
Damn. What are you feeling and how much mgs a day were you taking?
Lay off the booze, lush....
Does nothing for me that I can tell. Been a year. Also megadose Gabapentin does nothing
I’ve seen many studies that show gaba in large doses increases side effects but no added pain relief. I’d talk to your doctor
Alex- same for me!
I switched to Lyrica after 2 yrs and taking 9 300mg a day and no help. Take 3 Kyrica and its better
Try celebrex
What
Efek. Miloxicam.. 15mg..
The way you say “family” quickly sounds like “failing” 😂👍
Suggestion get closer to your microphone I’m not hearing all of your words! My stuff is turned up all the way 😒!
Music is blaring. Your voice too soft.
I took it for 3 days and thought i was gonna die felt like i was gonna have a heart attack. I think i am gonna get medical marijuana
I’m a Big Pharma survivor, I know what you mean! Out of options, I did my research and now use medical marijuana for arthritis pain. It also works wonders with C-PTSD. (The Veterans Administration currently has marijuana trials).
@@PattyDalmauyeah, but doesn’t that mean your huh all the time?
I haven't taken any yet and reading these comments I'm feeling a bit edgy about it now...🙂
Doesn't work. No one I know who it was prescribed for had any results.
Works great for me so far. I was prescribed it for inflammation in my foot that was very painful. After 48 hours on meloxicam the pain was down 80%. My step father and uncle were prescribed it after shoulder surgery and it worked great for them.
Works for me
Works great for me if I don’t take for a few days the pain comes back with vengeance
Works for me to Australia
Works for me
Im fucked,i dont eat lol
Hindi me kaho
This is a crock!
Very detailed. Very insightful. Thank you for your input.
