Hi,

NSAID like Meloxicam can be taken along with low dose Aspirin but both should be taken after food, antacid like proton pump inhibitor (PPI), e.g. Pantoprazole is generally recommended along with, to protect from GI side effects like dyspepsia etc.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
