Brief Answer:
Its ok to take meloxicam and ibuprofen together

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It is ok to take meloxicam and ibuprofen together once in a while. The reason they are avoided together is same pain-killer effect and risk of side effects is also increased.

Otherwise I would not worry about a single dose taken together.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
