What Experts Say
Doctors in Pakistan usually move patients to Meloxicam 15mg once the lower 7.5mg dose no longer controls arthritis pain well enough. This is the highest recommended daily dose, so physicians review the response after a few weeks and check whether a lower maintenance dose can be used later.
At this strength, the drug still works by blocking the COX-2 enzyme that fuels joint inflammation, but the higher dose carries a greater chance of stomach and kidney side effects than the lower strength. Experts advise using the smallest effective dose for the shortest time needed, and pairing it with a stomach protecting medicine when long term use cannot be avoided.
Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are widespread among older adults in Pakistan, and many patients only seek treatment once daily activities become difficult. Physicians recommend regular monitoring of blood pressure, kidney function, and stomach symptoms while on this dose, especially in patients who are also taking blood pressure medicines or blood thinners.
