Does Meloxicam Cause Dry Mouth And Cold?
Brief Answer:
can be stopped, does not need tapering
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Yes, you can discontinue it if you are experiencing side effects when you take it but if you would need to consider an alternative if it is being used to control pain that maybe difficult to tolerate.
It does not need to be tapered, it can be stopped suddenly. Only meds that cause physical dependence or withdrawal need to be tapered.
Your doctor can give an alternative to help with pain control
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
