The combination of aspirin with other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as meloxicam may increase the potential for serious gastrointestinal side effects, including inflammation, bleeding, ulceration, and perforation.
You'll need to discuss this with your doctor who know's your medical background. They will need to weigh up potential benefits (to treat and prevent heart attacks) versus potential risks (stomach bleed).
If your doctor gives you the ok to take the medicines together make sure you take both medicines with food.
