MCam 7.5 mg Tablet

MCam 7.5 mg Tablet is a prescription pain-relief medicine that contains 7.5 mg of meloxicam in each tablet. Meloxicam belongs to a group of medicines called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It is used to help reduce pain, swelling, and stiffness from inflammatory conditions such as arthritis.

How it works: Meloxicam blocks enzymes that make prostaglandins, which are chemicals involved in pain and inflammation. In tablet form, MCam 7.5 mg Tablet is swallowed and absorbed so it can work throughout the body to ease joint pain and swelling.

MCam 7.5 mg Tablet is the lower-strength tablet in the MCam line, with MCam 15 mg Tablet available for people who need a stronger dose. Doctors may choose MCam 7.5 mg Tablet when a lower NSAID dose is preferred, especially if they want to start more cautiously or if the patient does not need the 15 mg strength. Compared with MCam 15 mg Tablet, this strength may be easier to tolerate for some patients, but it still carries NSAID risks.
