@Luvsmyfam

I've taken this for quite sometime for pain due to arthritis and fibromialgia. I have had no side affects from it. Although we are all different. I take one tab a day in the am. I hope this helps you as it has me.

Taking with food is very important. Arthritis drugs can be tough on your stomach.

Both my husband and I took it for awhile after our knee replacement. I don't take it anymore but he still takes it maybe once or twice a week when he goes hiking or does a lot of work that puts strain on his knee.

I was on Meloxicam last year and got relief from in. However, the doctor told me I could not be on it long term. ( She never explained why.)

I was prescribed it prior to joint replacement with no issues. I was advised it is not wise to remain on it for an extended period as it can impact kidney function. It is an anti inflammatory and they can do a number on you. Still, if it reduces inflammation and pain it is well worth trying imo. Good luck!

My primary physician prescribed it about 2 years ago for arthritis pain. Take 1 tablet each morning and it does help. He does blood work ups routinely and all has been OK.

Hope it helps you. Good luck.

@Luvsmyfam 2 things: Glad you are using Good RX. I've used them for over 2 years and have saved literally 100's of dollars on the meds I need to take.

I also take meloxicam as needed and it does help my arthritic knees.
