Other medicines and Disprin
The effect of treatment may be influenced if Disprin is taken together with medicines such as:
- anticoagulants (which thin the blood)
- uricosurics (which promote the elimination of uric acid, e.g, medicine for gout)
- medicine for high blood pressure
- medicine for organ rejection after transplantation
- medicine for cancer or rheumatoid arthritis
- ibuprofen (pain killer)
- Metamizole (substance to decrease pain and fever) may reduce the effect of acetylsalicylic acid on platelet aggregation (blood cells sticking together and forming a blood clot), when taken concomitantly. Therefore, this combination should be used with caution in patients taking low dose aspirin for cardioprotection.
Always speak to a pharmacist or doctor before taking aspirin with another medicine.
