Mobic
Generic name: Meloxicam
Drug class:
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
Usage of Mobic
Mobic is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by reducing hormones that cause pain, fever, and inflammation in the body.
Mobic is used to relieve pain, tenderness, swelling, and stiffness caused by osteoarthritis (arthritis caused by a breakdown of the lining of the joints) and rheumatoid arthritis (arthritis caused by swelling of the lining of the joints).
Mobic is also used to relieve the pain, tenderness, swelling, and stiffness caused by juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (a type of arthritis that affects children) in children 2 years of age and older.
Mobic side effects
Get emergency medical help if you have signs of an allergic reaction to Mobic (hives, difficult breathing, swelling in your face or throat) or a severe skin reaction (fever, sore throat, burning eyes, skin pain, red or purple skin rash with blistering and peeling).
Get emergency medical help if you have signs of a heart attack or stroke: chest pain spreading to your jaw or shoulder, sudden numbness or weakness on one side of the body, slurred speech, leg swelling, feeling short of breath.
Meloxicam may cause serious side effects. Stop using Mobic and call your doctor at once if you have:

Before taking Mobic
Mobic can increase your risk of fatal heart attack or stroke. Do not use this medicine just before or after heart bypass surgery (coronary artery bypass graft, or CABG).
Mobic may also cause stomach or intestinal bleeding, which can be fatal. These conditions can occur without warning while you are using meloxicam, especially in older adults.
You should not use Mobic if you are allergic to meloxicam, or if you ever had an asthma attack or severe allergic reaction after taking aspirin or an NSAID.
To make sure Mobic is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have ever had:
If you are pregnant, you should not take Mobic unless your doctor tells you to. Taking an NSAID during the last 20 weeks of pregnancy can cause serious heart or kidney problems in the unborn baby and possible complications with your pregnancy.
Mobic may cause a delay in ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary). You should not take Mobic if you are undergoing fertility treatment, or are otherwise trying to get pregnant.
Ask a doctor if it is safe to breastfeed while using this medicine.
Mobic tablets are not approved for use in children weighing less than 132 lb (60 kg).
