Aspirin is a widely used medication that is commonly used to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and prevent blood clots. However, taking aspirin with other medications can increase the risk of side effects and complications.

According to Drug Patent Watch [1], aspirin can interact with a wide range of medications, including anticoagulants, antiplatelet agents, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and corticosteroids. These interactions can increase the risk of bleeding, gastrointestinal ulcers, and kidney damage.

NHS Inform [2] also warns that taking aspirin with other medications can increase the risk of side effects. For example, taking aspirin with other NSAIDs can increase the risk of stomach ulcers and bleeding. Taking aspirin with anticoagulants or antiplatelet agents can increase the risk of bleeding. Additionally, taking aspirin with some herbal supplements can increase the risk of bleeding and other side effects.

NHS [3] recommends that individuals should always consult with their healthcare provider before taking aspirin with other medications. Healthcare providers can help determine if aspirin is safe to take with other medications and can provide guidance on the appropriate dosage and timing of medications.

In conclusion, taking aspirin with other medications can increase the risk of side effects and complications. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider before taking aspirin with other medications or herbal supplements. Healthcare providers can provide guidance on the appropriate dosage and timing of medications to minimize the risk of side effects and complications.
