Can Shakiness And Cold Be Due To Taking Meloxicam And Ibuprofen Together?
I am feeling shaky and cold. I started taking 15 mg Meloxicam yesterday. I took 1 tab at 6:00 pm and 2 ibuprophen tablets, then I took 1 15 mg tab of Meloxicam at 8:30 a.m Could the feelings I am having due to taking this to close together along with ibuprophen?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The shaking is likely chills which can occur with an infection.
The meloxicam and ibuprofen would not cause this problem. Ibuprofen is sometimes used to treat fever and can be used for this and for pain management if there is any discomfort.
It would be best not to use both of these similar medications on the same day especially since you are using maximum doses of meloxicam.
I hope this helps
