Can I take Aspirin and Lansoprazole together?

Por qué sucede esto

Aspirin inhibits prostaglandins that protect the stomach lining, while lansoprazole reduces the production of gastric acid, thereby providing a protective effect against aspirin-induced gastric mucosal damage.

It is safe and often recommended to take these together, especially if you are at risk of stomach issues. Take the lansoprazole at least 30 to 60 minutes before food (usually in the morning) for it to work best. If you notice any unusual stomach pain or black, tarry stools, contact your doctor.

Asma

Do not take aspirin if you have a history of asthma triggered by aspirin or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), as it can cause a severe, life-threatening asthma attack.

Embarazo (tercer trimestre)

Do not take aspirin during the last 3 months of pregnancy (third trimester) as it can cause serious heart and kidney problems in the unborn baby and increase the risk of bleeding during delivery.

Niños menores de 16 años

Never give aspirin to children or teenagers under 16 unless specifically prescribed by a doctor. It is linked to Reye’s syndrome, a very rare but life-threatening condition affecting the brain and liver.

Alcohol

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

Alimentos (Horario)

Lansoprazole works best when taken at least 30 minutes before a meal. Taking it with or after food can slow down how quickly the medicine is absorbed into your system, making it less effective.
