Detailed Answer:
Hello, thank you for your question and I hope I could be of help to you today.
Meloxicam is NSAID use for reducing inflammation and pain. Usually we recommend an initial dose of 7.5mg once daily. May increase to a maximum of 15 mg once daily for up to 2 to 5 days and then while symptoms improve continue as when as needed. Meloxicam 15 mg twice a day is high and can cause side effects.
Please let me know if you need any clarification. If you have any more questions I am available to discuss them with you further. Wishing you good health.
