Hi
Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic for your health concern.
If are not on any other medications then taking Meloxican alone is not an issue. You need to take it after meal only. Usually it causes gastric hyperacidity, mild nausea / vomiting if taken empty stomach for which omeprazole can be taken 1 hour before meal along with the medication. If you experience other side effects which are not mentioned above you need to consult treating physician.
I hope this help you.
Regards
Dr. hiren
