A member asked:
Is 1 aspirin a day as effective for thinning the blood as coumadin?

Different drugs classes, ASA an anti platelet item, Coumadin, a true anticoagulant. The effective on prevention of blood clotting is far more intense with Coumadin. The meds are not inter-changeable.

No, different recommendations, different mechanisms of action, used mostly for prophylaxis, rarely used together due to increased risk for bleeding.
