Mobic (15mg tablet)(10)

Mobic is the brand name for the generic medication meloxicam, which belongs to a class of drugs known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It is commonly used to reduce pain and inflammation associated with conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other musculoskeletal disorders.

Dosage: The typical starting dose of Mobic for adults is 7.5 mg to 15 mg per day, taken once daily. The maximum recommended daily dose of Mobic is 15 mg. Dosage adjustments may be necessary for elderly patients or those with kidney or liver problems.

Usage: Mobic tablets should be taken with a full glass of water, with or without food. It is important to take Mobic exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not increase or decrease the dose or stop taking the medication without consulting your doctor.

Mobic is generally taken for a short period of time, usually no more than 7 days, to treat acute pain. For chronic conditions such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, Mobic may need to be taken for a longer period of time, often for several months or even years.

It is important to note that Mobic, like all NSAIDs, can cause serious side effects, including gastrointestinal bleeding, kidney problems, and cardiovascular events. Therefore, it is important to use the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible duration, and to talk to your doctor about any potential risks and benefits before starting treatment with Mobic. Additionally, if you experience any unusual symptoms while taking Mobic, such as stomach pain, black stools, difficulty breathing, or chest pain, you should seek medical attention right away.
