Meloxicam and Sertraline: Can You Take Them Together?

Here's what FDA-approved drug labeling shows.

MODERATE

Interaction Found

Taking meloxicam (a pain reliever) with sertraline (an antidepressant) together increases your risk of bleeding. This happens because sertraline affects how your blood clots. You may bleed more easily or have harder-to-stop bleeding.

What to do: Talk to your doctor about taking these medicines together. Watch for signs of unusual bleeding like nosebleeds, bruising, or blood in your urine or stool. Tell your doctor right away if you notice any of these signs. Do not stop taking either medicine without talking to your doctor first.
