A member asked:
How long after taking 3 advil (ibuprofen) do i need to wait before taking 15mg meloxicam?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wait 4-6 hours: Occasionally mixing these drugs may not be harmful, but combining them in high doses or on a regular basis is not recommended due to its higher probability of GI side effects.
