Can I take Aspirin and Doxazosin together?

Por que isso acontece

Aspirin belongs to a group of medicines called NSAIDs. These can cause the body to retain salt and water and can affect certain chemicals (prostaglandins) that help keep blood vessels open. This can work against doxazosin, which is designed to relax blood vessels and lower blood pressure. Both drugs can also affect the lining of the stomach or the way blood clots.

For most people, taking an occasional low-dose aspirin (such as 75mg for heart protection) with doxazosin is fine. However, if you are taking higher doses of aspirin for pain or inflammation, you should monitor your blood pressure regularly. If you notice your blood pressure rising, or if you experience any unusual bruising, persistent stomach pain, or black, tarry stools, contact your doctor.

Asma

Não tome aspirina se você tiver asma que piora com aspirina ou outros anti-inflamatórios não esteroides (AINEs), pois isso pode desencadear um ataque de asma grave ou potencialmente fatal.

First-dose hypotension (fainting)

Doxazosin can cause a sudden, large drop in blood pressure when you first start taking it or when the dose is increased. Take your first dose at bedtime to avoid fainting or dizziness.

Úlceras estomacais ou distúrbios hemorrágicos

Avoid aspirin if you have a history of stomach ulcers or bleeding problems, as it significantly increases the risk of serious internal bleeding.

Álcool

Drinking alcohol while taking aspirin can increase the risk of irritation and bleeding in your stomach and intestines. It is best to limit alcohol intake or avoid it if you have a history of stomach ulcers.
