Posted on Thu, 13 Jul 2017
Question: I got prescriptions for meloxicam 15mg tablets and prednisone 20mg tablets yesterday for neck and shoulder pain that radiates to my head. I took one dose each yesterday afternoon and pain was relieved. Today pain is back and I have taken one dose each this morning about an hour and half ago for meloxicam and 45 minutes ago for prednisone but I still have pain. I was only prescribed 5 prednisone tablets and 30 tablets for meloxicam.
