Hand Pain

Hi. I took Meloxicam 15mg tablet for 14 days. it was a white round pill. Doc told me not to take Advil with it but I could take Tylenol. I took the last pill 48 hours ago. How long before I can take Advil?

Hello, Pearl! How are you?

The reason he told you not to take Advil with it is because both it and Meloxicam are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, so taking them together would be doubling up and raises the risk of possible liver damage and bleeding.

However, only a few days are necessary between them to safely switch. None of them linger that long. Unless your doctor specifies otherwise.

Is there anything else I can help with?
