Stop using meloxicam and call your doctor at once if you have a serious side effect such as:
- chest pain, weakness, shortness of breath, slurred speech, problems with vision or balance;
- black, bloody, or tarry stools;
- coughing up blood or vomit that looks like coffee grounds;

Similarly, is meloxicam pain killer?
Meloxicam is used to treat arthritis. It reduces pain, swelling, and stiffness of the joints. Meloxicam is known as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). If you are treating a chronic condition such as arthritis, ask your doctor about non-drug treatments and/or using other medications to treat your pain.
What are the side effects of meloxicam?

- Heartburn, diarrhea.
- Bloating, gas, constipation.
- Upset stomach, nausea, vomiting.
- Dizziness, headache.
Can you get high off of meloxicam?
Although meloxicam has some potentially dangerous side effects, like other NSAIDs, it is not able to cause euphoria, or a high, that could potentially lead to addiction or substance abuse. These people may find some relief from their pain by taking meloxicam, but if they do experience euphoria, it is a placebo effect.
