Instructions for Movalis (Meloxicam) tablets – Anti-Inflammatory Pain Relief
Product Description Movalis:
Movalis is a trusted and widely used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) formulated with the active ingredient meloxicam. Designed to relieve pain and inflammation, Movalis is ideal for those suffering from joint disorders, muscle aches, and chronic inflammatory conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis.
Unlike many older NSAIDs, Movalis is classified as a COX-2 preferential inhibitor, meaning it focuses its action primarily on the COX-2 enzyme responsible for pain and inflammation, while having a reduced effect on COX-1, which helps protect the stomach lining. This selectivity allows for powerful anti-inflammatory action with reduced gastrointestinal side effects for many users.
Movalis tablets are available in strengths typically ranging from 7.5 mg to 15 mg, and offer a once-daily dosing option for convenient, effective management of ongoing pain and joint stiffness.
Key Benefits meloxicam:
Provides long-lasting relief from joint and muscle inflammation
Reduces swelling, stiffness, and chronic pain
Designed for people with arthritis and inflammatory conditions
COX-2 selective – may offer improved stomach tolerability
Once-daily dosing for convenient use
Trusted by millions globally for safe, effective pain management
How It Works:
Meloxicam, the active compound in Movalis, works by blocking the cyclooxygenase enzymes (primarily COX-2), which are involved in the production of prostaglandins — substances that cause pain, swelling, and inflammation in the body. By reducing prostaglandin production, meloxicam lessens both the symptoms and root causes of inflammatory pain.
Because of its COX-2 selectivity, Movalis provides potent anti-inflammatory effects while helping minimize damage to the stomach lining — a key concern for long-term NSAID users.
Common Uses Movalis:
Movalis tablets are commonly used for the management of:
Osteoarthritis (OA) – to relieve joint pain, swelling, and mobility issues
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) – to manage inflammation and stiffness in joints
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) – to reduce spinal inflammation and improve flexibility
Chronic musculoskeletal pain – including back pain and muscle soreness
Post-injury or overuse inflammation
This medication is suitable for daily use in people with ongoing joint discomfort or acute use for flare-ups and pain episodes.
How to Use meloxicam:
Take once daily, with a full glass of water.
Can be taken with or without food, but taking with food may reduce the chance of stomach upset.
