Guide To Meloxicam

Precautions To Remember

Meloxicam has inactive ingredients that can cause allergic reactions. Thus, patients need to tell their doctor about their allergies first. This knowledge is especially important if these allergies include reactions to other anti-inflammatories or Aspirin. Patients need to inform their doctor of their full medical history. This includes if they have asthma, especially when some medications cause it to worsen. Other issues doctors need to know about include intestinal issues, liver disease, heart disease, blood disorders, or growths in the nose.

There is also a risk of kidney problems with this medication. The risk is even higher when patients have kidney disease, liver failure, or are older. Patients also need to avoid driving while adjusting to this medication. They also need to drink more water. This is because this medication can increase dehydration. Avoiding alcohol and tobacco is also crucial when taking this medication due to the risk of stomach bleeding.
