Melonex Tablet is used to relieve pain, swelling and stiffness in joint conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and juvenile arthritis. It is a single-ingredient medicine containing meloxicam, and belongs to a class of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines (NSAIDs).
This medicine works by reducing the chemicals in the body that cause pain and inflammation, which helps you move more comfortably. Swallow the tablet with water, with or without food. It is usually used at the lowest effective dose for the shortest time needed.
Resting the affected joint during flare ups and applying a warm or cold compress as advised can ease discomfort alongside this treatment. Gentle exercise suggested by your doctor or physiotherapist and keeping a healthy weight can help your joints, while activities that strain painful joints are best avoided.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have had stomach ulcers or bleeding, asthma, heart disease, high blood pressure, or kidney or liver problems, and about all other medicines you take, especially blood thinners. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, as it should not be used in the last three months of pregnancy. It can raise the risk of stomach ulcers and bleeding, kidney problems and heart or blood pressure problems, so do not use it for long periods unless your doctor advises, and seek urgent help if you have black stools, severe stomach pain, chest pain or signs of an allergic reaction.
