What is Meloxicam used for?

Meloxicam is a prescription NSAID used to treat pain and inflammation from arthritis. It can be useful for relieving symptoms such as stiffness, swelling, and pain in the joints. Meloxicam is FDA-approved to treat osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis that can develop over time as the bones and joints experience wear and tear. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition in which the body’s immune system attacks the lining of the joints. 

In some cases, a healthcare provider may prescribe Meloxicam off-label for other uses. For example, Meloxicam may be prescribed to relieve back pain, especially if the back pain is caused by an inflammatory condition. Meloxicam is not effective for nerve pain or pain associated with muscle spasms.
