My husband wants to use this, but we are concerned about the long term effects which this article did not cover. I would have rated this article a 5 star had this information been included.

Hello,
Just read the pharma description of Meloxicam.
From my experience as a GP and working for the pharma company as med. rep.
I want to add some more insight into how new is the molecule of Meloxicam. as it is on the market more than 10 years. It is more correct to say that the molecule is more refined regarding side effects and selectiveness of COX 1 and COX 2. Usually, the old molecule like Ibuprofen is less selective and blocks both COX1 and COX2 equally.
About side effects: more often the side effect is stomach discomfort to stomach pain. it may cause an ulcer or perforation of the stomach wall which leads to spreading the stomach liquid into abdomen cavity and cause serious inflammation called peritonitis. in this case, had to be performed surgery.
about blood stool. it comes again as a result of a bleeding ulcer.
Ppl with gastritis should avoid NSAD as it can result in ulcer or bleeding or perforation if they take them for a long period of time.
There are liquid capsules which are less irritative than the couplets and tablets.

I’ve been taking meloxicam for several years. I haven’t noticed any side effects. I started taking it to help with arthritis pain in my left shoulder. It also helped my right shoulder with pain from torn ligaments. A few months ago my prescription ran out and I went with out for a while. I noticed how much pain I had in my hips and my legs when I got up in the morning. Once I started taking the prescription again those pains stopped.
