Doctors across Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad and Rawalpindi commonly prescribe Micam Tablet 7.5mg for early osteoarthritis and mild rheumatoid arthritis. It is often the starting dose before a doctor considers 15mg.
Meloxicam works as a COX-2 preferential NSAID. It blocks pain-causing enzymes with somewhat less stomach irritation than older, non-selective NSAIDs.
Long-term use still needs medical supervision. Patients with heart, kidney, or stomach conditions should discuss the risks with their doctor before starting.
