| intro  = Meloxicam is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with relative preference for the COX-2 enzyme over COX-1.

| routes            = Oral, intravenous

| duration          = 24 hours (once-daily dosing supported by long half-life)

| legal            = [[USLegal:Prescription only|Rx-only]] in US
| mechanism        = <vote slug="meloxicam-mech-claim">Preferential COX-2 over COX-1 inhibitor (approximately 3:1 selectivity at therapeutic doses), giving somewhat less GI mucosal injury than non-selective NSAIDs but not the COX-2 specificity of celecoxib. Anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect derives from reduced prostaglandin synthesis; the cardiovascular and renal class effects of NSAIDs apply, with the standard FDA Boxed Warning for cardiovascular thrombotic events and gastrointestinal bleeding.</vote> Once-daily dosing is a clinical advantage over short-half-life NSAIDs<ref name="mobic-label" />.
