Hi, Factfinder!
"The NSAID meloxicam is, a known selective
COX-2 inhibitor (Furst, 1997; Hawkey, 1999; Kimura
and Kontani, 2009) that has been shown to cross the
blood brain barrier."
Depending on the condition being treated and the type of formulation you're taking 15mg is the maximum daily dose for most cases. The lowest effective dose should be used for the shortest time possible because of the drug's effect on the heart, liver, kidneys, and many diseases. Only a health care professional can determine based on your medical history if the medication is safe for you and the duration of treatment.
