A member asked:
I'm prescribed mobic (meloxicam) 15mg 1x a day, and it's not working. i haven't taken a dose since 6pm yesterday. is it safe to try otc naproxen today instead?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: NSAIDS differ in responses in different people. It is rational to try different ones before giving up on them. Also some require more than just a day or two to see if they,'re effective. Newer ones like Celebrex (celecoxib) are easier on the gastrointestinal track in some but not all people.
