I read the build up time was 5 days, would that be it? I'm on 15 mg after being on celebrex for 6 years (off it now)
I just started Meloxicam and am wondering how long it generally takes to take effect?

I saw response to inflammatory pain within 2 hours. Works like most other NSAIDs such as Ibuprofen, Naproxen, etc. It's just a stronger med than over the counter options.

Should generally take a week or two to start seeing improvement if your going to have improvement from it. I'd expect around 2 weeks personally if it were me.
