Higher risk for: elderly, those with history of GI bleeding or ulcers, renal impairment, concurrent anticoagulant or corticosteroid use, cardiovascular disease, or chronic high-dose NSAID use.

Watch for: stomach pain, heartburn, nausea, black or bloody stools, decreased urination, ankle swelling, unusual weight gain (fluid retention), or elevated blood pressure. When to seek emergency help: Vomiting blood or material resembling coffee grounds, severe abdominal pain, chest pain, sudden shortness of breath, signs of allergic reaction (hives, facial swelling, difficulty breathing), or very dark urine with reduced output.
No urgent discussion needed, but keep your provider informed. Say: "I take Vancomycin Oral alongside Meloxicam — anything I should know?"
These medications are safe to take together at standard doses. Continue taking as prescribed and keep your pharmacist informed of your complete medication list.
