No: It is a nonsteroidal inflammatory drug and none of them are addicting.

No: but since you list ibuprofen among your medications, meloxicam, which is a related drug, shouldn't be taken together with it - it doesn't increase any benefit and just increases likely side effects. NSAIDs do not have any potential for addiction, although people who take too many of them can get lots of complications - stomach ulcers, bleeding, reflux esophagitis, salt retention and edema etc.

Not addictive!: 7.5 mg is usually the pediatric dose. Most adults use 15 mg!
