Question about baby Aspirin

[annabel♥lee]

I will ask my OB, too, but I figured I'd ask here for good measure. :)

Does anyone know if baby Aspirin is OK to take with Zyrtec and Singulair (allergy meds)? Also, once you conceive, at what point is it Ok to stop taking it and do you have to wean off?

Thanks!

That's OK, I have the same questions. :)

Zyrtec and aspirin are believed safe together http://www.drugs.com/drug-interactions/aspirin-with-zyrtec-243-0-569-286.html as are aspirin and Singulair http://www.drugs.com/drug-interactions/aspirin-with-singulair-243-0-1654-1024.html EXCEPT in people who are allergic to aspirin. If you're allergic to aspirin you shouldn't take aspirin ANYWAY obviously.

Rather than asking a doctor (doctors know very little about drug interactions, it's actually kinda scary) I would ask a pharmacist/chemist to make 110% sure.

I like baby aspirin better than cran because it acidifies without the additional nutrients (as do artificial sweeteners like Splenda and aspartame).

You can take one 75-81 mg baby aspirin every day thorughout your cycle and then once you get a BFP you just gradually wean yourself off of it, by spacing the dosages out further and further over the span of a few weeks before stopping all together.

If you are prone to bleeding, you may want to take it only every two or three days, or even once/twice a week. It will still help you sway pink even at a lower dose, and it's safer. Aspirin and cranberry are blood thinners and can cause bleeding when taken in excess and over long periods.
