I took a naproxen 500mg 3 hours ago still having pain can i take meloxicam 15mg now?

Both are nsaids: Both Naproxen and Meloxicam are non-steroidal anti-inflammatories but work by different mechanisms. The Meloxicam dose may not help that much, but would be ok to take. It might be a better idea to take a different pain reliever to help the Naproxen work better to relieve the pain.

NO: Meloxicam and Naproxen are non steroidal anti-inflammatory medications. They are both effective medications. The effectiveness varies from individual to individual.
