Mechanism of Action:
The mechanism of action of meloxicam, like that of other NSAIDs, may be related to prostaglandin synthetase (cyclo-oxygenase) inhibition which is involved in the
initial steps of the arachidonic acid cascade, resulting in the reduced formation of prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and prostacyclins. It is not completely understood how
reduced synthesis of these compounds results in therapeutic efficacy.

Do not take Meloxicam if
 You are allergic to meloxicam or any of the other ingredients of this medicine. An allergic reaction may include rash, itching, swelling of face, lips, or
hands/feet, or breathing difficulties.
 You are in the last three months (third trimester) of your pregnancy or breast-feeding.
 You have previously had an allergic reaction, to other NSAIDs or to acetylsalicylic
acid (a medicine used in pain, inflammation, and fever).
You have suffered from asthma-like wheezing, swelling of the skin, or hives (urticaria)
after taking NSAIDs in the past.
 You have a blocked nose or difficulty in breathing through your nose after taking
NSAIDs or aspirin in the past. These may be due to a fleshy growth in the nose called
nasal polyps.
 You have an ulcer of the stomach or intestine (commonly called peptic ulcer), or have
had them repeatedly in the past.
 You have bleeding in your stomach or intestine (gastrointestinal bleeding), any other
bleeding disorder or had bleeding inside the brain (cerebrovascular bleeding).
 You have had gastrointestinal bleeding or perforation with the use of NSAID therapy
at any time in the past
 You have severe problems with your liver
 You have severe problems with your kidney(s) and are not on dialysis
 You suffer from severe heart failure (heart failure is a condition where your heart fails
to pump blood strongly enough to supply all the blood needed throughout the body).
Children and adolescents under the age of 16 years must not take Meloxicam tablets.
