Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I ve been suffering from rheumatoid arthritis for the last 20 odd years & some ouster arthritis. I m regularly of salazopyrin daily & methotrexate one day a week & a high blood pressure tablet once a week. I still have pain particularly in my knees so sometimes take Meloxicam but I m worried about the side effects. Would it be better to drop the Meloxicam and take panadolosteo?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, analgesic medicine always have some side effect if taken for long time and it is advisable to avoid taking it for long time, but some time symptomatic relief would be much important than the side effect more over what ever the side effect are there are reversible, so it does not make any difference, hope this information helps.
