You are incorrect about the don't use anyother pain killers i.e. percocet vicodin etc. This is often prescribed in conjunction with opioids.
Whoever said mobic and tylenol and vicodin compete at same receptors and somehow negate each others effects was simply wrong. You should probably not take two NSAIDS at the same time as he GI side effects can be deadly but the only pain killers in this group that work at pain receptors is the hydrocodone in vicodin (the mu receptor). True mu agonist drugs can be safely given with any NSAID. Tylenol is neither an opiod nor an NSAID. It does not compete with opiods and is often given with them in fact, in the same pill. It does not contribute to any GI side effects. It is liver toxic at large doses or if taken for prolonged periods or if taken with other liver toxic drugs like alcohol
I was told during a pharmacy consultation to ONLY take it with Tylenol NOT Ibuprofen or aspirin, for example, because of the blood thinning properties. Therefore, taking with other opioid-based drugs would be okay, as long as they do not contain blood thinning agent. For example, one cannot take Cymbalta (for depression, etc) with Molixicam/Mobic.
You are wrong. You may take tylenol with mobic. Two different things.
does this take awhile to do any good? I have been taking meloxicam for about a week and it's doing NOTHING. I was on diclofinac and it worked immediately on my arthritic knees. any advice?
Exactly what I was going to say as well. My mom is prescribed meloxicam along with pain meds.
take meloxicam 15mg. a day but get your doctor to give you also some ;gabapentin' 300mg and you can also take ;oxycocet' 6 per day as I do. It works if you take these three.
