Meloxicam is typically taken once daily. For adults with conditions like osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis, the usual starting dose is 7.5 mg once per day. If more relief is needed, a doctor may increase the dose to a maximum of 15 mg once per day. Children with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis usually take 7.5 mg once daily. It is recommended to take the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration possible to reduce the risk of side effects. Meloxicam tablets can be taken with or without food, and it's important to take the medication consistently at the same time each day as prescribed by a doctor.
