Is meloxicam an opiate?

In: Medication and Drugs, Opiates [Edit categories]

Answer:

NO. Meloxicam is not an opiate, nor is it related to any opiate or opiate agonist/antagonist. It is in a class of drugs known as NSAID's, or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen or aspirin. Anyone who says otherwise is not only wrong, but is pushing possibly dangerous informatio, and should be ignored
