Hi Welcome to HCM
This is Dr Amit. Causes of vomiting is mainly due to acidity and gastric upset caused by FORECOX so i would suggest to take any antacids(Drugs to treat acidity) suggested by your doctor before meal and take the FORECOX after the meal. No need to divide the doses or to add levofloxacin
