How long after stopping aspirin did you try new pain relievers?



Based on the information provided, I am unable to determine how long after stopping aspirin you tried new pain relievers. However, I can provide some general guidance on the subject.

When switching from one medication to another, it is important to consider the potential for drug interactions and the appropriate washout period. The washout period, also known as the washout phase or washout period, is the time it takes for a drug to be eliminated from the body. This period varies depending on the drug's half-life, which is the time it takes for the concentration of the drug in the body to be reduced by half.

In the case of aspirin, its half-life is approximately 15-20 minutes for immediate-release aspirin and 2-3 hours for enteric-coated aspirin [1]. Therefore, it is generally recommended to wait for at least five half-lives before starting a new medication to ensure that the previous drug has been effectively eliminated from the body [2].

In your case, since you stopped taking aspirin and tried new pain relievers, it would be advisable to wait for at least five half-lives of aspirin to ensure that it has been eliminated from your system before starting a new medication. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional or pharmacist to determine the appropriate washout period for your specific situation, as other factors, such as age, kidney function, liver function, and drug interactions, may also affect the washout period.
