A member asked:
Are the side effects of meloxicam worse than those of naprosyn (naproxen)?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: They are both nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (nsaids). All nsaids have the same side effects or potential risks.

No: They are about the same. Both are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsaids). Some say there is anecdotal evidence that Meloxicam is safer on the stomach but it remains to be proven.
