Warfarin and aspirin?

[rod624]

I am 63,and have metabolic syndrome.Two years ago I had a stenosis in my small intestine which required surgery to correct.Seven months ago I had a pulmonary embolism and I am told this may have been the second one.I am taking 7 mg of warfarin a day and my INR is 2.5.I had a liver transplant 10 months ago,and was told my vascular system was not great.Given my overall situation I am concerned about heart attacks and strokes.Do you think I should be taking 75mg of aspirin a day as well as the warfarin?Thanks.

I would not take them both together, always, however, check with your physician and pharmacist to make absolutely sure.

would not take Aspirin with warfarin it would extend the clotting time dramatically

I AM HAVING A CAROTID ULTRASOUND WITH DOPPLER THIS WEEK TO CHECK MY VASCULAR SYSTEM AND DISCOVER WHAT RISK I AM AT FOR A STROKE.THEN,IF NECESSARY,I WILL SPEAK TO MY LIVER CONSULTANT ABOUT LOW DOSE ASPIRIN.THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENTS.

I would definitely ask your liver specialist about taking a baby aspirin BEFORE taking it.  Are you seeing a vascular specialist too?
