Mobic drug with the main active ingredient is Meloxicam, which is prepared in different dosage forms as follows:
Tablet form with Meloxicam content of 7.5 mg; Tablets with Meloxicam 15 mg; Syringe with Meloxicam 15 mg. Meloxicam has a strong anti-inflammatory effect for all types of inflammation. Meloxicam's mechanism of action is to inhibit the biosynthesis of prostaglandins, which are mediators of inflammation.
A comparison between the peptic ulcer-inducing dose of Meloxicam and the anti-inflammatory dose of meloxicam in arthritic rats has determined a superior therapeutic effect in animals over conventional NSAIDs. In vivo, Meloxicam mainly inhibits prostaglandin biosynthesis at the site of inflammation more strongly than in the gastric mucosa or kidney.

Thus, Mobic has a higher safety and therapeutic effect than other common NSAIDs.
