Meloxicam-associated anaphylactic reaction

J Investig Allergol Clin Immunol. 2006;16(5):317-20.

Abstract

Anaphylactic reaction to meloxicam has never been reported to date. We report 2 cases of meloxicam-induced anaphylactic reaction with no sensitivity to another selective cyclooxygenase 2 inhibitor. A thorough drug allergy work-up should be done before other cyclooxygenase inhibitors are prescribed.
