What is Vivlodex

MeloxicamThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryMeloxicam is a type of pain reliever called a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It is used to treat various types of pain including pain related to musculoskeletal conditions, arthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis. It has a longer lasting effect than most other NSAIDs, which means it only needs to be taken once a day. It comes in three forms: oral, transdermal, and intravenous. Meloxicam is a special type of NSAID known as a COX-2 inhibitor which may help reduce the risk of stomach upset, although this is still a subject of debate.

Effectiveness

How Vivlodex Affects PatientsMeloxicam is a painkiller with fever-reducing effects, and has been shown to reduce inflammation in those with rheumatoid arthritis. Similar to other NSAIDs, taking meloxicam long-term can lead to issues with the kidneys or the cardiovascular system. While meloxicam is believed to have less gastrointestinal side effects than other NSAIDs, it can still lead to inflammation, bleeding, and ulcers. One study found that 13% of patients taking meloxicam suffered these side effects compared to 19% of those taking the NSAID diclofenac. However, the side effects in patients taking meloxic
How Vivlodex works in the bodyMeloxicam reduces inflammation and pain by targeting enzymes that create prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are molecules that irritate nerve endings and make you feel pain. Meloxicam is more effective at targeting one type of enzyme than the other, which helps it reduce pain and inflammation without irritating the stomach.

Vivlodex for Joint Damage causing Pain and Loss of Function
I haven't felt this good in over a decade! Not only is the pain gone, but my mobility has increased. I was worried about the stomach upset side effect, but taking it with food and water helps a lot. And the hard candy or peppermint is a nice touch.

Though it takes a little while to work, this medication is much more effective than other pain relievers I've tried. Now that I've been taking it regularly, my joint pain has decreased significantly and I only need to take it a couple times a week.
