I take 10 mm of warfarin a day, can I still go on a aspirin therapy?

Please answer.

One of the guests mentioned that aspirin can help prevent strokes. There are two types of strokes, those caused by thrombosis (blood clots) and those caused by hemorrage (bleeding). Aspirin should never be used if has been determined that the stroke is hemorragic in nature. Always seek medical treatment before begining an aspirin regimen.

Is an "aspirin allergy" a true allergy, or does it have to do w/a higher sensitivity to its anti-clotting effect?

Can one use aspirin effectively to combat a hangover? Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen cause liver issues when combined with booze. How about aspirin?

1. What's in synthetic fertilizers & pesticides that might interfere w/the presence of salicylates in crops?

2. Maybe Leonard could do a follow-up on prostaglandins & their various functions in the body.

3. What does sodium salicylate do? Could it really (in combination w/blood) grow a chicken heart to monstrous proportions, as in Bill Cosby's routine about an old-time radio horror show? (OK, yes, that last part's a joke.)

Concerning "low dosage" aspirin, what is wrong with taking one regular 325 mg aspirin a day to prevent a heart attack? Second, if so, what would be wrong with using one of the pill spliter devices and cutting a standard 325 mg into a smaller size?

Thank you

Have been told an article in OPTHAMOLOGY
says that aspirin use can increase risk of
developing cataracts,, macular degeneration, even blindness.

Can we have a discussion about this.?

1. Is the willow native to the western hemisphere too, & did people indigenous to it also use its bark for pain relief?

2. Another willow derivative is bismuth subsalicylate, better known as Pepto-Bismol! What connection is there between this compound & aspirin & their very different effects?

My daughter won't give her 7 and 10 yr old girls aspirin because she has been told it is harmful to children. Is this true?

Pfft!

I once saw a documentary that said aspirin is incredibly stable as a compound, and that aspirin manufactured 100 years ago would still be efficacious. Can the guests comment on this? If it's true, why do they put expiration dates on aspirin bottles? To sell more?

salicytic acid is used in topical acne medications
is that b/c it reduces inflammation in that case as well?
also, is salacytic acid from willow bark safer than that manufactured asprin or topical acne medications?

I read that a child may receive aspirin at 16 years old. At 5' 5" my son is much larger that I am -so, is age a valuable guideline (and if so, why?). How is Reyes Syndrome related to apirin? THANKS.

Would you ask your guest how magnesium salicylate (for backache relief) differs in its action from the acetyl salicylate of aspirin?
Thanks!
