Aspirin and Prenaissance Next

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.

Talk to your doctor before using ginger together with aspirin. Ginger products have been reported to cause bleeding in rare cases, and taking it with other medications that can also cause bleeding such as aspirin may increase that risk. You should seek immediate medical attention if you experience any unusual bleeding or bruising, or have other signs and symptoms of bleeding such as dizziness; lightheadedness; red or black, tarry stools; coughing up or vomiting fresh or dried blood that looks like coffee grounds; severe headache; and weakness. 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.

MONITOR: Ginger may potentiate the effects of anticoagulants, platelet inhibitors and thrombolytic agents, possibly increasing the risk of bleeding. Limited data suggest that ginger may decrease platelet aggregation via the inhibition of thromboxane synthetase, although some studies have found no effect on platelet function or thromboxane production or activity. Nevertheless, the interaction was suspected in a 76-year-old patient stabilized on coumarin therapy who developed epistaxis following use of ginger products (pieces of dried ginger, tea from ginger powder) for several weeks. Her INR was greater than 10 (target INR 2.0 to 3.0) and partial thromboplastin time (PTT) was 84.4 seconds (normal less than 35 seconds) upon hospital admission. INR and PTT values normalized after ginger intake was stopped and vitamin K given. In contrast, an investigative study found no significant effect of ginger pretreatment for 7 days on clotting status or the pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics of a single 25 mg dose of warfarin in 12 healthy volunteers.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should consult a healthcare provider before taking any herbal or alternative medicine. In patients who have used ginger and ginger supplements extensively prior to receiving anticoagulation, antiplatelet or thrombolytic therapy, the potential for an interaction should be considered. Close clinical and laboratory observation for hematologic complications is recommended. Patients should be advised to promptly report any signs of bleeding to their physician, including pain, swelling, headache, dizziness, weakness, prolonged bleeding from cuts, increased menstrual flow, vaginal bleeding, nosebleeds, bleeding of gums from brushing, unusual bleeding or bruising, red or brown urine, or red or black stools.
