A member asked:
I have thrombocytopenia with a platelette count of 40, 000. hematologist says not worth treating. can i take generic midrin for my frequent headaches?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: With low platlets you should not be taking anything with Aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicine. Midrin does not have Aspirin initial. I would recommend that you should always check with your hematologist before starting any new medication.
