Prevention: It is to help prevent future heart attacks. As with any other medication, risks should be weighed against benefits.

Reduces clotting: One of the side effects of Aspirin is that it interferes with platelet function and reduces the blood's ability to clot. You are already taking celebrex (celecoxib). This medication also interferes with blood clotting. You should not take asprin while taking Celebrex (celecoxib) without explicit clearance from your doctor. Do not self medicate with this combination.
