Is Meloxicam Anti-inflammatory?

I was recently prescribed meloxicam, which I am under the impression that it is a anti-inflammatory ? Does it have any interaction with the other medications I am prescribed? -Or- is any of the following not recommended together? Cymbalta, Concerta, Metroprolol, Hydrochlorothiazide, Tomoxifen, Cyclobenzaprene, Diclofenac, Fenofibrate, Xanax, Norco, Zolpidem (occasionally for when needed on controlled substances, except the psychiatric drugs which are 1x per day) A couple more questions; Is it ok to take alkaseltzer daily? I recently had my colonoscopy. Which came out clear, but the last testing shown there was blood in my stool. Last question, I use denture adhesive, which my denture won t stay in unless I use the fixodent or polident. Is there a brand that doesn t have any adverse reaction, as I heard the denture adhesives have an ingredient that is not good if you swallow it, which, I do, as the adhesive starts to leak. Thank you for your recommendations

Hi,

Thanks for your question on HCM & I do understand your concern

“As” per your query let us go point wise-:

1)Meloxicam is an anti inflammatory drugs and it is given as a pain killers.

2)Regarding drug interaction is concerned Do not take [Cymbalta+ cyclobenzaprine] and [Xanax+Norco] besides it all others are manageable.

3)Regarding [alkaseltzer] I may say that it should not be given regularly and it is main cause of GI bleeding.

4)Regarding denture adhesive I may say it has no reaction at all and if it is leaking then refill once again.

Hope you got all your questions if you have further doubt let me know.

Thanks and wish you a good health
