Armex tablet 15mg Uses

Drug Class

• Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)

What Experts Say

Meloxicam reduces pain and inflammation by blocking the enzymes that produce prostaglandins, with a preference for COX-2 that is more involved in swelling. This gives effective relief of arthritis symptoms.

Its long action supports once daily dosing, which suits chronic conditions like osteoarthritis where steady relief matters. Doctors use the lowest effective dose for the shortest suitable duration.

As with all NSAIDs, meloxicam can affect the stomach, kidneys and heart over time, so people with ulcers, kidney disease or heart conditions need medical guidance. Taking it with food and reporting any black stools or swelling is advised.
