Hello,
I was recently diagnosed with hip osteoarthritis and prescribed meloxicam 7.5mg to treat my pain and stiffness. My doctor said it is not breastfeeding safe, but indicated this is the recommendation because not enough studies have been done. I'm wondering if there is any evidence out there? If it is unsafe are there other prescription NSAIDs that would be safe for me to use? I've been breastfeeding 7.5 months and would really like to make it to one year if possible.
Thank you for the help!
