Question/Comment:

I am wondering what the potential interaction with this drug and Celexa is?

49 year old Female

iGuard.org Answer/Reply:

Serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) like Celexa have been associated with causing stomach and intestinal bleeding - continual and daily use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAIDS) like meloxicam along with an SSRI can further increase this bleeding risk. However, one time uses of NSAIDs like meloxicam or ibuprofen to treat a headache or cramps is generally well tolerated.

You may not feel any different when taking it , but remember it is an NSAID which is not a pain reliever, but reduces inflamation which may likely reduce pain with out the side effects of pain relievers.
