In the database of official manuals used in the service creation an interaction registered by statistical results of studies was found, which can either lead to negative consequences for the patient health or strengthen a mutual positive effect. A doctor should be consulted to address the issue of joint drug administration.

Consumer:

Before using dilTIAZem, tell your doctor if you also use aspirin. This combination may cause unusual bleeding or bruising, headache, dizziness, or weakness. If you take both medications together, tell your doctor if you have any of these symptoms. You may need a dose adjustment or need your blood pressure checked more often. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Professional:

MONITOR: Several case reports have suggested that verapamil and aspirin may have synergistic antiplatelet effects. The mechanism of this interaction has not been fully elucidated. Also, one study of five patients has suggested that aspirin may reverse the antihypertensive effect of verapamil. The mechanism may be related to antagonism of the effect of verapamil on prostacyclin. Diltiazem has been shown to interact with aspirin in a similar manner.

MANAGEMENT: Close observation for prolonged bleeding time and reduced antihypertensive effect is recommended if these drugs must be used together. Patients should be advised to notify their physician if they experience unusual bleeding, bruising, or petechiae. Aspirin should be discontinued if an interaction is suspected.
