Re: "No aspirin with warfarin, sweet cheeks, but you already know that, right? Even the 81 mg is a no-no."That is incorrect. I am on both, and my doctors know it. (One even questioned it but later gave it the 'okay.') While aspirin and warfarin both thin the blood, they go about it in different ways.

Hm. On the one hand, I'm seeing this:

"The decision whether to add aspirin to warfarin therapy should be individualized."

And on the other hand, I'm seeing THIS:

"In patients taking warfarin, the risk of major bleeding (defined in most studies as hospitalization because of bleeding and requiring transfusion of at least two units of packed red cells, or an intracranial, intraperitoneal, or fatal bleeding episode) is reported to be about 2.0% to 3.8% per person-year.7–11 The risk of major bleeding with aspirin alone is estimated to be 0.13% per person-year,12 but when aspirin is combined with warfarin, the risk increases significantly.13 In a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials,14 the risk of major bleeding was calculated to be about 1.5 times higher with combination therapy with aspirin and warfarin than with warfarin alone."

When next I see a doctor, I'll ask for an explanation. Maybe I was only meant to be on both while awaiting surgery... Thank you for the information.

As an interesting aside, a guy I was exercising with told me that he was on warfarin for 6 years. Then he had a nosebleed and almost bled to death. They had to do surgery to stop it. Then they switched him to Eliquis thinking that he and warfarin may not get along. Bummer. Eliquis, however, is not an option for me.

On the brighter side, I also know someone who has been on warfarin for 30 years without any problem. I think I'll model myself after him.

Even the 81 mg is a no-no.
