¿Puedo tomar Aspirina y Omeprazol juntos?

Por qué sucede esto

Omeprazole reduces the amount of acid in your stomach. Some aspirin tablets have a special coating (enteric coating) designed to dissolve only when they reach the gut. By making the stomach less acidic, omeprazole might cause this coating to break down too early in the stomach, or it may slightly alter how the aspirin is absorbed into the bloodstream. Despite this, the overall effect of the aspirin is usually not changed enough to be a concern.

Lo que deberías hacer

You can take these medicines together. In fact, doctors often prescribe them together specifically to protect the stomach lining if you need to take aspirin long-term. If you are taking aspirin to prevent heart problems or strokes, continue to take it as prescribed. If you notice any unusual stomach pain or indigestion, mention it to your pharmacist or doctor.

Precauciones importantes

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 allergic reaction or asthma attack.

Embarazo (tercer trimestre)

Do not take aspirin during the last 3 months of pregnancy unless specifically prescribed by a specialist, as it can cause serious heart and kidney problems in the unborn baby and increase the risk of bleeding during delivery.

Diarrea severa

Contact your doctor immediately if you develop severe or persistent watery diarrhoea; omeprazol can increase your risk of a serious bowel infection caused by Clostridium difficile.

Advertencias sobre alimentos y bebidas

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 if you have a history of stomach issues.
