Brief Answer:
You can take it with antiacid.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Generally you can take anti-inflammatories like Proxon however you should add a proton pump inhibitor (antiacid like Omeprasole) to protect the stomach against ulcers. And anti-inflammatories should not be taken often, just from time to time.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
