Meloxicam and Advil are both nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) that work by reducing inflammation and pain. However, taking both drugs together can increase the risk of side effects such as stomach ulcers, bleeding, and kidney damage. Therefore, it is important to know when it is safe to take Advil after taking Meloxicam. 1/2 life 20 hrs. so 80 hrs should be good.
