Can Methocarbamol And Meloxicam Be Taken Together For Hip Pain?
I have been experiencing left knee and right hip pain. One doctor (at urgent care) prescribed a muscle relaxant, methocarbamol. Another doctor (my primary care doctor) prescribed an anti-inflammatory, meloxicam. I checked online and there is not interaction between the two medication. Would it be to my advantage to take both medications, or is one preferable to the other.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You can take both drugs with out any concerns. They don’t interact with each other or affect the efficacy of one another. However, you can stop Methocarbamol after five days since it is effective only is spasmodic pain in acute setup. If pain persist for long, consult an orthopedic and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
