A member asked:
Should i take meloxicam with a prescribed prilosec to prevent stomach issues?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Recommended: Meloxicam is more potent against COX-2 and is more favorable to the GI system than other nonselective NSAIDs. However, a proton pump inhibitor like Prilosec is recommended for stomach protection. Always inform your doctor before combining medications.
