Guest guest Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 it is an anti inflammatory drug.... to decrease inflammation. I took it for a while but it was so expensive I stopped it. But what i dont understand is why they say fibro is not an inflammatory disease but they prescribe anti inflammatory drugs. I hope it does help you. take care.... debra weachy_01 wrote: > > Hello is anyone taking MOBIC® (MELOXICAM) > I went to my first appointment with my Rheumatoligst and he gave me the above. > Sandy > > never heard of it what is it? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 My doctor also gave this to me, but it says to use extreme caution if you have high blood pressure, and I do....so I havent taken it yet. Anyone else on it that has high blood pressure? Any side effects from it for you? I also have GERD...and I see it can cause GI problems...another reason I was afraid to take it. I would love to hear back from anyone on this also. (eastern Tennessee) -- Re: Re: MOBIC® (MELOXICAM) it is an anti inflammatory drug.... to decrease inflammation.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 I've been taking Mobic for about three years and have had really good luck with it. I have moderately high blood pressure, but it is controlled with a beta blocker called Toprol. The combination of these two has really helped me. The thing to be careful about with the Mobic is not to take any aspirin or Ibuprofin with it. Tylenol is ok - so my combo for really bad pain days is Hydrocodone and the Mobic twice a day. Recently I tried switching out the hydrocodone with Darvocet but for me the Darvocet just doesn't cut the pain the way the hydrocodone does.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Mobic isn't just an " anti inflamatory " it is actually what they call a 2 inhibiter. It has become popular as other 2 inhibitors have been taken off the market (Viox and Celebrex)due to heart issues. If I understand it correctly the 2 inhibitors block your perception of pain in the brain in addition to reducing the inflamation sometimes causing the pain. In FMS, I would think they use it more for the blocking perception than the anti inflamation aspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
