Meloxicam is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that helps reduce pain, inflammation, and stiffness caused by conditions such as arthritis. The active ingredient in Meloxicam works by blocking the production of certain natural substances in your body that cause inflammation. This medication is suitable for adults dealing with arthritis-related pain and inflammation.
