Hi & Welcome.
I appreciate your concern for your beloved mother.
It's not safe to take Neoxicam along with Olmezest.
Neoxicam (Meloxicam) may reduce the effects of Olmezest (Olmesartan) in lowering blood pressure resulting in uncontrolled blood pressure. It may affect her kidney function, especially when they are used together frequently or chronically. She is more likely to develop impaired kidney function during treatment with these medications.
Therefore, she should not take Neoxicam as a pain killer. Instead she can use Paracetamol or other analgesics for the symptomatic relief of pain after consulting her cardiologist.
