Brief Answer:
You need to be very careful taking both together!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

Using prasugrel (effient) together with meloxicam may increase the risk of bleeding, including severe and sometimes fatal hemorrhage. I will not recommend you take these two medications together unless there is no other alternative which justifies taking the risk of using both together.

What do you want to take meloxicam for? I may be able to make other propositions if you let me know that.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
