Meloxicam is an inexpensive drug used to reduce swelling and treat pain. It may be used for osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. It is more popular than comparable drugs. It is available in generic versions. Generic meloxicam is covered by most Medicare and insurance plans, but some pharmacy coupons or cash prices may be lower.
