Hi, what dosage are you on? I take 15 mg slow release tablet a day and have been told repeatedly that I am not allowed to take ibuprofen alongside. When in greater pain I have scripts for tramadol and codeine that I can take if needed. Hope this helps.

I am on Meloxicam and have been told by my doctor and pharmacist that I should not take ibuprofen on top of it or it could easily give me an ulcer. The only otc I can use is Tylenol.
