Melbek Tablets 15mg: Effective Pain Relief for Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Ankylosing Spondylitis

Melbek tablets provide effective pain relief for a range of inflammatory conditions, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. This medication contains meloxicam, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that helps reduce inflammation and pain.

What is Melbek?

Melbek tablets are available in two strengths: 7.5mg and 15mg. The tablets are light yellow, round, and scored for easy division. Each tablet contains meloxicam as the active ingredient, along with various excipients.

How does Melbek work?

Meloxicam works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, chemicals in the body that cause inflammation and pain. By reducing prostaglandin levels, Melbek helps reduce pain, swelling, and stiffness in joints affected by arthritis.

When is Melbek used?

Melbek is indicated for the short-term symptomatic treatment of osteoarthritis exacerbations and long-term symptomatic treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis.
