Meloxicam is metabolized to four biologically inactive main metabolites, which are excreted in both urine and faeces. The elimination half-life (t1/2) of meloxicam is approximately 20 h. This is reflected in a total plasma clearance (CL) of 0.42-0.48 1/h. Steady-state plasma concentrations are achieved within 3-5 days.
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
