What Experts Say

Meloxicam is often introduced at the 7.5mg strength when a patient starts NSAID therapy for the first time. This lower dose helps doctors judge pain relief and tolerance before considering a higher strength. It is a common starting point for elderly patients and those with mild kidney concerns.

Starting low also lowers the early risk of stomach upset, fluid retention, and blood pressure changes that NSAIDs can cause. For many people with early osteoarthritis or mild joint inflammation, 7.5mg once daily controls symptoms well enough that a higher dose is never needed. Response is usually reviewed after one to two weeks of regular use.

Even at this lower dose, meloxicam should not be combined with aspirin, other NSAIDs, or long term steroid use without medical advice, since the combined effect on the stomach lining and kidneys can be significant. People with a history of ulcers or heart disease need closer monitoring even on the starting dose.
