Can I take Amitriptyline and Aspirin together?

למה זה קורה

Amitriptyline belongs to a group of medicines that can affect how your blood platelets work. Aspirin is a blood-thinner that also stops platelets from sticking together. When used together, their combined effect makes it harder for your blood to clot, increasing the risk of internal bleeding.

Use this combination with caution. If you need to take them together, watch for signs of bleeding such as dark, tarry stools, coughing up blood, or severe stomach pain. If you notice these symptoms, contact your doctor immediately. Your doctor may suggest a different painkiller or a medicine to protect your stomach.

אסתמה

Do not take aspirin if you have asthma, as it can trigger a severe or life-threatening asthma attack.

הריון (שליש שלישי)

Do not take aspirin if you are more than 6 months pregnant, as it can cause serious heart and kidney problems in the unborn baby and increase the risk of bleeding during delivery.

Suicidal thoughts

הmitriptyline can increase thoughts of self-harm or suicide, particularly when first starting treatment or changing doses. Seek immediate medical help if your mood changes or you feel distressed.

אלכוהול

Drinking alcohol while taking amitriptyline can make you feel very sleepy and unsteady on your feet. It is best to avoid alcohol, especially when you first start treatment or if your dose is increased.
