Is it allowed to take Meloxicam during lactation?
Is it safe for a nursing mother and a child?

At latest update, relevant information on excretion into breast milk was not found. Due to a high serum-protein-binding capacity, excretion into breast milk seems to be unlikely. Until more information on this drug is available, another know therapeutic alternative should be preferred, especially in cases of breastfeeding an infant younger than one month or prematures.

Not very helpful for my joint pain. The one thing after a month of use is that I got a lot of blood in my urine with bladder pain and pressure! I went to doctor and they did X-rays for stones and urine test for infection, everything was negative. Doctor didnâ??t even think about the meloxicam I was taking. I finally put two and two together and stopped taking. Pressure is a little better but I just went off today.

I have pins in my hip since 2004. Lots of pain throughout the years but not really a fan of pain medicine. A couple of months ago the pain became a major cause for me going back to the doctor. Long story short, second day using this medicine and all pain is gone. All! I feel like a new woman.
