Just take Meloxicam: You mean Meloxicam.Naproxen and Meloxicam are both Non steroidal Anti inflammatory drugs.It comes in various doses.The maximum dose is 15mgm to be taken once a day.If you take half a pill of naproxen,but we don't know how many mgm.tablet you have.I suggest you just take Meloxicam only,as it is good for 24 hours
