Precautions for children: The safety of this product in children has not been established, and this product is contraindicated for patients under 15 years of age. Precautions for pregnancy and lactation: Although no teratogenic effects of this product were observed in preclinical trials, this product is contraindicated for pregnant and lactating women. Precautions for the elderly: Elderly patients are more likely to have concomitant kidney, liver or heart diseases, so they should be carefully monitored during medication.

1 Large doses of other NSAIDs including salicylates: The simultaneous use of more than one NSAID may increase the likelihood of gastrointestinal ulcers and bleeding through synergistic effects. 2 Oral anticoagulants, ampicillin, systemic use of heparin, and thrombolytics may increase the likelihood of bleeding. If the above combination medications are unavoidable, the effects of anticoagulants must be closely monitored. 3 Lithium: NSAIDs have been reported to increase plasma concentrations of lithium. Therefore, it is recommended to monitor plasma lithium levels when starting, adjusting, and discontinuing this product. 4 Methotrexate: Similar to other NSAIDs, meloxicam can increase the blood toxicity of methotrexate. In this case, it is recommended to strictly monitor blood cell counts. <br/
