¿Puedo tomar Aspirina e Ibuprofeno juntos?

Por qué sucede esto

Both drugs belong to the same family (NSAIDs). When used together, they have an 'additive' effect on the stomach lining, making damage more likely. Furthermore, ibuprofen physically blocks the spot on your blood cells (platelets) where aspirin needs to attach to thin the blood.

Lo que deberías hacer

Avoid taking ibuprofen if you are on a daily low-dose aspirin regimen for heart health. If you must take both, take the aspirin first and wait at least 30 minutes to 2 hours before taking ibuprofen. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist for safer pain relief alternatives, such as paracetamol.

Precauciones importantes

Asma

Do not take these medicines if you have asthma that is worsened by aspirin or other NSAIDs, as they can trigger a life-threatening asthma attack.

Úlceras estomacales o sangrado

Avoid these medicines if you have a history of stomach ulcers or gastrointestinal bleeding, as they significantly increase the risk of serious internal bleeding and perforation.

Embarazo (tercer trimestre)

Do not take these medicines during the last 3 months of pregnancy (third trimester) as they can cause serious heart and kidney problems in the unborn baby and complications during delivery.

Advertencias sobre alimentos y bebidas

Alcohol

Drinking alcohol while taking aspirin or ibuprofen increases the risk of irritation to your stomach lining and may lead to stomach bleeding or ulcers. It is best to limit alcohol intake or avoid it altogether while taking these medicines.
