Brief Answer:
yes

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

you can use them concurrently but be warned about potential side effects. Meloxicam may raise the blood pressure level. Since you're taking bystolic, I assume you had higher blood pressure than normal. In patients like you, taking any NSAID (like meloxicam) may worsen your blood pressure. Levothyroxine won't be affected in any way.

Kind regards!
