MOVALIS (tablets)
It appears that Movalis may cause less harm to the body.
We will talk about this further. The main indications for treatment with this drug are the following diseases: ankylosing spondylitis; osteoarthritis (arthrosis, degenerative joint diseases), rheumatoid arthritis. Personally, a neurologist prescribed it for me for minor pain in tense shoulder muscles that arise from sitting for a long time in one position at a work computer.
It is sold in tablets (pale yellow, with one convex side) of 7.5 mg and 15 mg. At the time of purchase, the 7.5 mg dosage was not available at the pharmacy, so they offered me a loading dosage. Apparently, it is also available in suppositories with the same doses, as well as in the form of solutions for intramuscular administration (1.5 ml) and suspensions for oral administration, but I have not tried this.
The dosage regimen is selected individually. I was prescribed 7.5 mg twice a day with meals, but I didn’t “break” my 15 mg and took it once a day, since the maximum daily dose should not exceed 15 mg. The instructions contain a warning: due to the fact that the risk of adverse reactions may depend on the dosage size and duration of use, you should use it for the shortest possible time, which is what I did, especially since the list of possible side effects is impressive: changes in the leukocyte formula ; leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, anemia; headache and dizziness; colitis; gastritis; stomatitis; abdominal pain; diarrhea; nausea, vomiting; skin rash; hives; itching, etc. – the list of about 30 different items makes you think. I didn’t experience anything like this, and I took it for a short course.
The list of contraindications and cases when the drug is taken with caution is also extensive: hypersensitivity to components, pregnancy, lactation, children under 12 years of age, symptoms of bronchial asthma, nasal polyposis, peptic ulcer or perforation of the stomach and duodenum in the acute stage (or recently suffered ) etc. – about 25 points in total. You must carefully read all this in the instructions, and also do not forget to read the paragraphs “special instructions” and “drug interactions” - they also contain very important information, which is undesirable for your health to ignore.
What about its effect? It seemed to me that the effect was still weak. Regular exercise and relaxing movements helped me much more. Massage (including self-massage) and rubbing with ointments are the best helpers in this case. As an analgesic and anti-inflammatory drug, it is rather weak. And, meanwhile, it is quite expensive - for 10 tablets of 15 mg each I paid 665 rubles.
As a result, if we take into account the little help in my problem, the huge list of contraindications and side effects (the instructions for Movalis are almost a meter long), and at the same time the inadequate cost, I will not recommend this drug to everyone. Moreover, it is unlikely that anyone will take it without a doctor’s prescription. And when prescribed, everyone will decide for themselves about its effect, everything is so individual.

Among the drugs of choice for the comprehensive treatment of back and joint pain, I prefer the original German drug Movalis (meloxicam) 15 mg per day with fewer side effects

Kohl "Movalis" during an exacerbation of rheumatoid arthritis. It starts to help in about a day, and full recovery begins 2-3 days after 3-5 injections. Good drug, soft. There are minimal side effects, it especially protects the stomach. During treatment I feel heat, my legs especially burn, this is because the blood vessels dilate and the blood begins to move quickly through them.

My greetings to everyone! Many people probably know the discomfort and inconvenience caused by periodic pain in the lower back; most often they are chronic and associated with wear and tear of the intervertebral discs. Pain can occur completely unexpectedly and take you by surprise at almost any time. Most often, their occurrence is associated with lifting more weight than allowed by your doctor, if you have previously encountered this disease. But there are also completely unusual situations when the pain can recur, for example, when you slip on a slippery surface or when you twist your ankle and try to regroup. The consequences of such pain are the most disappointing, doctors even have such a concept as helplessness to put a sock on your foot on your own; this was exactly the case when I first visited the doctor. Self-treatment with pain-relieving creams and gels, warming patches or applicators will only help dull the pain, but ultimately a visit to the doctors is inevitable, and treatment does not take place in one day, it is a day hospital with IVs, physiotherapy and injections. When such a disease first occurs, those who have encountered it know that it is enough to just give a few intramuscular injections. The most effective such drug is the Movalis solution; doctors simply do not prescribe another more effective drug. I want to tell you about it, because I have been using it for several years now and it has never let me down. The drug "Movalis" is presented for sale in the most ordinary thick paper packaging. On the back of which there is brief information about the drug. At the end of the package, the production series of the drug, the date of its production and its expiration date are indicated. The box contains five ampoules of the drug in a protective plastic container to protect the ampoules during transportation. There are five ampoules in the box precisely because this quantity is the full course of treatment, 1 injection per day for five days. The drug must be accompanied by detailed instructions for its use, but they are printed in very small print, so I will present only its main extracts, such as indications for use, contraindications and side effects. The product has both a positive effect and many contraindications, as you can see for yourself. But I have not encountered any problems with the drug for quite a long time. However, only the attending physician should prescribe this drug. According to the instructions, the drug is available only with a prescription, but I never presented the prescription when purchasing it, they don’t even ask for it, for which reason I find it difficult to answer. The product is produced in Spain. Its average retail price is 1000 rubles. Of course, I simply shared my impressions of its positive use, without any recommendations for its purchase and use. Don't get sick, good health to you and your loved ones. I hope that my review will contain useful and valuable information for you. Thank you for your attention.

Advantages:
The ampoules are easy to open and effective.
Flaws:
Price.
Good day, dear friends and readers of my review. My husband periodically experiences back pain after strenuous physical work. The last time I got sick quite badly and the doctor recommended intramuscular injection of Movalis and the vitamin complex Combilipen. The husband immediately went to the pharmacy and bought everything according to the recommendation, no one told him that the drug Movalis has a cheaper analogue Meloxicam, which is actually the main active ingredient of Movalis. Ampoule Meloxicam would cost about 250 rubles, and for three ampoules of Movalis 650 rubles were paid. The difference is noticeable, almost triple the overpayment. According to the recommendation, Movalis had to be injected every other day, and vitamins every day. The packaging with the drug is cardboard, inside there is a plastic backing with three glass ampoules and instructions for using the drug. The ampoules are easy to open and do not require filing. The ampoule contains 1.5 ml of solution. The solution contains 15 mg of the active substance meloxicam and a number of excipients. The color of the solution is yellowish. The drug is made in Spain. It can be stored without refrigeration, at room temperature, in a dark place. The packaging says that Movalis is available with a doctor’s prescription, but at the pharmacy the pharmacist did not ask for a prescription and my husband calmly bought it that way. That is, the sale of the drug is free. Movalis is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. It has three spectrums of action: - relieves pain; - relieves inflammation; - brings down the temperature. The drug helped my husband and he felt better after the first injection. We pierced it as expected every other day. A week has passed since the treatment and so far everything is fine, but he tries to do minimal physical activity. Of course, the drug is good and can be recommended, but I would prefer a cheaper analogue with the same effect. I would buy it if I urgently need to start treatment, and there is no equivalent in the pharmacy. Thank you for your attention to my review. Health and good mood to everyone!!!)))

Hello, I want to tell you about the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug Movalis, which effectively and quickly relieves even the most unpleasant and persistent symptoms of musculoskeletal problems.
Movalis is a serious drug and I strongly recommend that you carefully study the instructions and consult with your doctor before using it!
Pharmachologic effect:
The main active ingredient of the drug is meloxicam. It is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that is a selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor. It is a derivative of enolic acid. The active substance has an analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effect on the body, and also blocks the work of a specific enzyme, which is directly involved in the development of inflammatory processes.
The drug relieves inflammation as quickly as possible and at the same time its effect is quite long-lasting and persistent. But it all depends on the type of pain. It mainly treats joint and muscle pain, but is also suitable for some nerve pain such as pinching.
Indications for use:
- symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis; - symptoms of osteoarthritis; - symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis (Bechterew's disease): - pain syndromes in osteoarthritis, arthrosis, degenerative joint diseases.
Effect of use:
It copes well with joint pain and pinching - it relieves swelling and inflammation within 1-1.5 minutes after intramuscular administration. Usually one ampoule per day is enough to switch to milder anti-inflammatory drugs and reduce inflammation to nothing. But it is worth noting that it is not recommended to administer it for longer than 3-5 days. This is associated with a number of side effects from many organ systems. Fortunately, I didn’t have them at all, but in general they are very likely. Therefore, when using Movalis you need to be extremely careful, especially if some organs or organ systems are prone to this kind of response.
Side effects
Digestive system:
Up to 5 percent of those taking the drug may experience nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, flatulence, diarrhea, and constipation. Less than 0.1 percent experience other symptoms (such as belching, esophagitis, gastrointestinal ulcers, hidden or macroscopic gastrointestinal hemorrhage, colitis and gastritis).
Hematopoietic system: Occasionally, the use of the drug can provoke anemia, even less often - leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, and contributes to a change in the number of certain types of leukocytes per unit of measurement.
Skin reactions: Itching, rash, stomatitis, urticaria, photosensitivity. In some cases, an allergic reaction may occur.
Respiratory system: Acute attacks of bronchial asthma can occur extremely rarely.
Nervous system: Headaches, dizziness, tinnitus, drowsiness, mood swings, nervousness.
Cardiovascular system: Edema, changes in blood pressure, hot flashes and palpitations.
Vision: Blurred vision and conjunctivitis.
Appearance:
Cardboard packaging with instructions + 5 ampoules 15 mg/1.5 ml. Standard ampoules with a light yellow, odorless liquid are easy to open, but it is better to trim them first. Movalis is also available in tablet form, 7.5 and 15 mg.
Is it true that the drug in ampoules “hits the liver” less than in tablets?
No it is not true. This is a common myth! Both routes through which the drug enters the body do not pass directly through the liver. In the first case, it directly enters the blood from soft tissues; in the second case, it passes through the main sections of the gastrointestinal tract and enters the blood through the epithelium of the small intestine. In both cases, the drug first of all enters the blood, and then, with the help of the circulatory system, it is carried to the organs and places of localization of inflammation. And all venous blood on its way back, without exception, is “cleaned” by the liver. Since almost any drug is perceived by the liver as a “toxin,” the way it enters the body is not particularly important.
Conclusion:
The drug has a place in the first aid kit as an emergency aid for severe and painful inflammations; it is also worth taking with you on the road in case of unforeseen situations, especially if arthralgia and pinching are frequent guests of yours. But at the same time, it should not be abused.

Hello! I want to write a review about Movalis injections, maybe some of you will find it useful. This year we decided to complete the renovations in the house, but everything didn’t work out quite as planned. On the second day of labor, my husband had a very bad back pain after lifting a barrel. He was simply bent, but could not straighten out. He rested for the evening, but did not feel better. Yes, and he lay down - this is a strong word, he was rather in agony, considering that he did not sleep all night, since the slightest movement immediately sent a sensation to the lower back. In the morning I ran to the pharmacy, I said, this is how it is, it’s really bad and it’s not getting better. I was offered several drugs to choose from, including Movalis ampoules. The pharmacist said that it was a very good remedy and should help quickly. I bought it. I came home, opened it, and there were 10 ampoules inside. The instructions are very large. Although the pharmacist told me everything, I once again went over the contraindications myself. Trust but check!
I gave my husband the first injection at about 11 am. He moaned a little more, trying to lie down more comfortably, and then became quiet. While I was minding my own business, maybe half an hour had passed, I walked in and he was sleeping. I was happy, apparently the pain had subsided, it was already good. He woke up at four o'clock in the afternoon and not only woke up, but got up himself and went out onto the veranda. I ask how? He replied that he felt fine. This evening, of course, we did nothing, just rested. And the very next morning the husband went to do business. We finished the course, of course. I don’t want to enjoy a relapse. True, now I started tugging at him to make an appointment with the doctor, otherwise, as you know, they don’t joke with their backs. So I advise, but it would be better if the medicines were never needed, although no one is insured, they will take it and grab it. Thank you! Be healthy!
