Scientific Evidence

Meloxicam, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), works by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), thereby reducing the production of prostaglandins that cause inflammation, pain, and fever. Studies have shown that meloxicam is effective in managing pain and inflammation associated with arthritis conditions.

Research published in the journal Rheumatology and Therapy demonstrated the efficacy of meloxicam in improving pain, joint stiffness, and physical function in patients with osteoarthritis. Another study in the Journal of Clinical Rheumatology found meloxicam to be well-tolerated and effective in treating rheumatoid arthritis.
