yes it contains opiates. any muscle relaxer or pain killer usually contains opiates. so if you are getting drug testes by your PO make sure to tell him that you have a prescription for them.
NO, Meloxicam does not "contain" any type of opiate. It is a single drug and contains one active medication: Meloxicam. Meloxicam is not an opiate. It is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory. The use of this drug will not show up on drug tests. It is not a narcotic nor is it a scheduled drug. Other types of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs include ibuprofen (Advil), Naproxen (Aleve), etc..
I left the original answer as an example and/or warning to people by pointing out that you have to be supremely careful when it comes to believing things you read online. The person who answered the question originally knew nothing about the drug except for the fact that it was a "muscle relaxer," which was information already given in the question. Therefore, this person, not knowing anything about this drug, just made up an answer based on what they thought (and what they thought was extremely inaccurate) rather than doing a tiny bit of research to educate themselves and answer the question correctly. They could have also just not answered the question if they did not know the answer.
The other inaccuracy was the statement that any muscle relaxer or pain killer usually contains opiates. This is highly untrue. Let's start with the pain killers:
There are far more non-opiate based pain killers available than opiate-based pain killers. However, at this time, the opiate based pain killers are the strongest pain killers available and therefore used for severe acute pain due to injury, surgery, etc., as well as being used for long term chronic pain. Opiate based pain killers work by mimicing our body's natural endorphines.
Muscles relaxers do not contain opiates either. Why the first person to respond brought up muscle relaxers, I do not know, because Meloxicam is not a muscle relaxer. It is also not technically a pain killer either. It is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that reduces pain by reducing post-injury or post-surgical inflammation, but does not actually relieve the pain, it attempts to alleviate a portion of the cause of the pain.
In the end, no, Meloxicam contains no opiates.
No. Ketorolac is a NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug).
meloxicam
You will not get high off of 7.5 mg of Meloxicam. This is the lowest dose that is usually prescribed to patients.
can you take meloxicam and piroxicam together
NO...Morphine is an opiate analgesic (painkiller) which is similar to heroin.
percocet is an opiate(oxycodone). 2 totally different drugs.
Naproxen is not an opiate, but that does not mean it will not be detected in a drug test.
Yes, meloxicam is approved for use in dogs by veterinarians.
No.Opiates are Narcotics. Zoloft is not a narcotic.
No, dilaudid will show up as an opiate and methadone will only show up as methadone because it requires its own specific test.
No, Ratio-Oxycocet does not contain Codeine.Ratio-Oxycocet is comprised of acetaminophen and Oxycodone. Oxycodone is a synthetic opiate, separate from and unlike Codeine.
yes co-dydramol does contain opiates, opiates are the oily substance which is with retracted from the poppy seed. Also an opiate is a pain killer.
I'm prescribed Meloxicam for my lupus so i hope so :)
