⚠️ Boxed Warning: Heart & Stomach Risks
- NSAIDs like meloxicam can increase the risk of serious cardiovascular events (heart attack, stroke), which can be fatal. Risk may occur early and rises with longer use.
- NSAIDs can cause serious gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcers, and perforation—sometimes without warning and at any time.
- Do not use for pain right before or after CABG (heart bypass) surgery.
⛔ Do NOT Use If
- You’ve had an allergic reaction to meloxicam, aspirin, or other NSAIDs (e.g., hives, asthma, anaphylaxis).
- You’re undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.
- Your clinician has told you not to take NSAIDs due to prior GI bleeding/ulcer or other specific risks.
✅ Before You Start
- Tell your clinician if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoke, or take low-dose aspirin or blood thinners.
- Mention any history of stomach/intestinal problems, kidney or liver disease, fluid retention/heart failure, asthma, or past serious skin reactions.
- List all meds and supplements you take (see interactions).
💊 How to Take (Safety Tips)
- Take the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible time.
- Swallow tablets with water; taking with food or milk may help stomach upset.
- Do not combine with other NSAIDs (e.g., ibuprofen, naproxen) unless your clinician says so.
🔄 Interactions to Watch
- Other NSAIDs, aspirin (non-cardiac doses): ↑ GI risk.
- Anticoagulants/antiplatelets (e.g., warfarin, DOACs, clopidogrel): ↑ bleeding risk.
- ACE inhibitors/ARBs, diuretics: ↑ kidney risk; may reduce BP control (“triple whammy”).
- SSRIs/SNRIs, corticosteroids, alcohol: ↑ GI bleeding risk.
- Lithium, methotrexate: possible ↑ drug levels/toxicity—monitoring may be needed.
🚨 Serious Side Effects — Get Help Now

🙂 Common Side Effects
- Upset stomach, nausea, diarrhea, indigestion, gas, dizziness, headache. If these persist or worsen, contact your clinician.
🤰 Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
- Avoid at ~30 weeks gestation and later due to risk of premature closure of the fetal ductus arteriosus.
- Limit/avoid between ~20–30 weeks; NSAIDs can cause fetal kidney problems leading to low amniotic fluid (oligohydramnios)—use only if necessary and as directed.
- Discuss if breastfeeding; small amounts may pass into milk—your clinician will weigh risks and benefits.
🩺 Monitoring
- Your clinician may check blood pressure, kidney function (creatinine), liver enzymes, and watch for swelling/weight gain or GI symptoms—especially with long-term use.
📦 Storage & Other Tips
- Store at room temperature, away from moisture and light; keep out of reach of children.
