Understanding Meloxicam: Modern Arthritis Pain Relief
Meloxicam is a modern non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that helps Filipinos manage osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis with just one daily dose. As an essential medicine listed in the Philippine National Formulary 8th Edition, you can trust this is a government-approved treatment that meets DOH quality standards for joint pain management.
How Meloxicam Works (Simple Explanation)
Imagine your joints have "inflammation alarms" that go off when arthritis flares up, causing pain, swelling, and stiffness. Meloxicam works like a "smart security system"—it specifically targets and blocks COX-2 enzymes (the main culprits behind joint inflammation) while being gentler on COX-1 enzymes that protect your stomach lining. This means:
- Effective pain relief from arthritis and joint inflammation
- Reduced swelling and morning stiffness in your joints
- Gentler on the stomach compared to older NSAIDs like ibuprofen or naproxen
- Once-daily convenience—24-hour protection with just one tablet
