What Experts Say

Rheumatologists in Pakistan often start adults with mild to moderate osteoarthritis on Meloxicam 7.5mg. This lower dose gives useful pain relief while keeping the load on the stomach and kidneys as light as possible, which matters for patients who need to stay on treatment for months at a time.

Doctors prefer Meloxicam over older NSAIDs because it acts more selectively on the COX-2 enzyme that drives inflammation, sparing the COX-1 enzyme that protects the stomach lining. Physicians still advise taking it with food, reviewing long term use in patients with heart or kidney disease, and stepping down to the lowest dose that controls symptoms once pain settles.

Pakistan carries a heavy burden of osteoarthritis linked to obesity, low physical activity, and an ageing population, so this dose is a common first line choice before stronger anti-inflammatory drugs are tried. Experts recommend periodic blood pressure and kidney function checks during extended treatment, along with a review of any other pain medicines a patient may already be taking.
