What Causes Flu Symptoms While On Meloxicam?
I have been on. Meloxicon for two weeks 15 I have had committing and an overall feeling of flu symptoms twice now for about 24hrs. Are these related to the drug? The drug has helped me incredibly but these symptoms are really severe. Could the dose be to strong? Do I have to stop it altogether?or is it possibly not related? My email is YYYY@YYYY . Thank you

Hi,
Meloxicam is a non-steroidal anti inflammatory drug. It is known to cause flue like symptoms as a side effect. Please stop the pills and consult your treating doctor for advising alternative medication.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
