Inflammatory Conditions
"My husband had been taking this for inflammation for a few months.  Meloxicam caused a large bleeding ulcer in his intestine that developed over the few months that he had been taking it.  He ended up in the emergency room after he collapsed and lost a lot of blood from internal bleeding.  It also gave him a lot of gas and stomach upset.  I would not recommend for anyone to take it.  It did not do much to relieve his inflammation pain in his shoulder.  Please read all side effects that this medication might cause before you start taking it."
