Question 1

i take 325 mg aspirin daily. can i also take a curcumin supplement?

Accepted Answer

According to: Drugs.Com  Interaction Checker- a minor, unspecified reaction is possible but is not deemed clinically significant.

Question 2

following a stroke, i have been taking 325 mg aspirin daily along with plavix (clopidogrel). now know the danger. is this too much aspirin?

Accepted Answer

No: No, this is a fairly standard dose.

Question 3

after an ischemic stroke in 2012, i am prescribed 325 mg aspirin daily. would 81 mg baby aspirin suffice?

Accepted Answer

Neither: Extensive research studies demonstrate inferiority of aspirin in any dose lower than 325 mg four times daily, which can cause profound gastritis.  In my opinion, the Aggrenox combination with low dose aspirin is most useful, followed by clopidigrel.

Question 4

after stroke i have been prescribed 325 mg aspirin daily along with plavix (clopidogrel). should that aspirin dose go down?

Accepted Answer

WHY???: It is well documented in the neurological research that adding a baby Aspirin to Plavix (clopidogrel) doubles the risk of brain hemorrhage and does not provide any extra protection.  You are far more likely to prevent another stroke if you take Aggrenox twice daily instead, as the product contains aspirin, yet without the brain hemorrhage risks.

Question 5

i have been on 325 mg aspirin daily for almost two years. my eosinophils have slowly been rising (now 1,300 ) & make up 15% of wbcs. hives, allergy symptoms , abnormal liver/kidney functioning. is this dress syndrome ? ext steps ? switch 2 plavix?

Accepted Answer

: You need to tell us more about your use of Aspirin and what is the reason behind its use ?necessary.
With a high Eosinophil count, drug allergy becomes a serious consideration.
You need to see an allergist and also consider stopping Aspirin unless there is a good reason to be on a blood thinner(?)

Question 6

i have swelling and pain in my upper thigh. there is no redness or warmth. i have heart problems. do i need to worry about a dvt i have heart problems, and currently take 325 mg of aspirin daily.

Accepted Answer

While : While many things can cause swelling and pain, you might have a case of dvt. While the use of Aspirin daily can decrease the risks of clotting, they might not necessarily eliminate it. I would contact you primary doctor and see if you can get non-invasive ultrasound testing to see if there is dvt. Even a blood test called d-dimer can help rule out clotting problems. If the d-dimer test is normal then you don't need the ultrasound. If it is positive you would need further workup.

Question 7

i was told to take 325 mgs of aspirin daily after i had a stroke. why?

Accepted Answer

: For prevention of future strokes, aspirin is used for its blood thinning effect for this purpose. Confirm with your neurologist or primary care doc as well.

Question 8

Question 10
