Question 1

can i take aspirin cardio with atacand (candesartan) 32 and concor 2,5?

Accepted Answer

Yes: This group of drugs is a sensible combination for heart rate and blood pressure lowering and to lower the risk of heart attack and stroke. They are safe to take together, provided that your blood pressure is being monitored by a healthcare professional who has prescribed these medications.

Question 2

what trials have been done replacing plavix (clopidogrel) for aspirin in aspirin allergic patients without  stents or cardio problems?

Accepted Answer

None: That i'm aware of.  I aggressively pursue Aspirin desensitization in my aspirin-allergic patients...It's highly effective.

Question 3

is taking 500mg coated aspirin three times a day three times weekly a good way to help osteoarthritis of the knee? don't want cardio issues.

Accepted Answer

It can be...: Aspirin certainly can be helpful for arthritis pain.  Depending on the severity of the pain and whether it is contant or intermittent pain you may need something more regularly.  Aspirin is not known to induce cardiovascular disease, indeed it can be preventative (though generally only recommended for prevention of a second heart attack, not a first).  You might try Glucosamine and Cod LIver Oil.

Question 4

i have a cva since 2011, im on chronic blood thinners, 100mg cardio aspirin daily. is it dangerous for me to remove my wisdom tooth after my med?

Accepted Answer

Usually not: If your inr is within a normal range(around 2) then having you wisdom tooth extracted should be ok -but i would suggest an oral surgeon.

Question 5

can crestor 10mg clear plaque deposits on caratoid arteries.im only 39 cardio said blood flow ok.ive been put on aspirin 75mg  felt good otherwise?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Crestor, other meds should NOT be expected to clear plaque. Goal is to slow the gradual, lifelong process of hardening of the arteries/plaque growth. No med clears atherosclerosis. In rare cases plaques shrink if the cholesterol is driven to very, very, very low levels. Be realistic. Our vessels age &amp; develop plaque. Not smoking, treatment of cholesterol, BP, diabetes, etc help slow the process.

Question 6

today, i had a dental implant screw and cap placed after extraction. i stopped my elective 81 mg. aspirin 5 days prior. may i resume it this evening? forgot to ask. no history of cardio events?

Accepted Answer

: You should probably wait for clotting to occur since you had an extraction. Your doctor should know about your health history as well your internist, call both for advice. Make sure you follow post extractions instructions..

Question 7

reading again abt link btwn ibuprofen & cardio/stroke risk. any other options for occasional ache/pain relief besides aspirin, tylenol or ibuprofen?

Accepted Answer

Minimal risk: One needs to read carefully.  This data is retrospective and to a large degree overblown.  The increased risk for any NSAID for increases in vascular disease is less than one percent with constant use.  There is higher risk of bleeding, salt retention, and gastritis, and more risk of vascular disease from poor nutrition and lack of exercise than episodic and occasional use of these agents.

Question 8

stomach irritation not worrisome but cardio issues worry me more.what should i take for my osteoarthritis -  buffered aspirin, naproxen, or celebrex (celecoxib)?

Accepted Answer

Tylenol (acetaminophen): All NSAIDs have some risk of causing cardiac issues. The safest thing is to take a non-Nsaid like acetaminophen Tylenol

Question 9

how can  aspirin work?

Accepted Answer

Complex: It is a prostaglandin inhibitor and platelet inhibitor which interferes with clotting, reduces inflammation, reduces fever, and reduces pain. Those are its major effects and there are other minor actions as well.

Question 10

can a baby use aspirin?

Accepted Answer

No: We have not used Aspirin or Aspirin like products in kids under age 16 for decades after it was tied to a rare cause of liver failure/death. The only exceptions are treating kids with arthritis, kawasaki disease or rheumatic fever. The "baby aspirin" as a low dose has resurfaced & is used with adults to help prevent heart attacks.
