Contra Indications
Hypersensitivity (attacks of asthma, angioedema, urticaria or rhinitis), active peptic ulceration; pregnancy (3rd trimester), children <12 yr, patients with hemophilia or hemorrhagic disorders, gout, severe renal or hepatic impairment, lactation.
Absolute
Bleeding GI ulcers, hemolytic anemia from pyruvate kinase (PK) and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, hemophilia, hemorrhagic diathesis, hemorrhoids, lactating mother, nasal polyps associated with asthma, sarcoidosis, thrombocytopenia, ulcerative colitis
Relative
Appendicitis, asthma (bronchial), chronic diarrhea, bowel outlet obstruction (for enteric-coated formulations), dehydration, erosive gastritis, hypoparathyroidism
Precautions
Anemia, GI malabsorption, history of peptic ulcers, gout, hepatic disease, hypochlorhydria, hypoprothrombinemia, renal impairment, thyrotoxicosis, vitamin K deficiency, renal calculi, ethanol use (may increase bleeding)
Discontinue therapy if tinnitus develops
Should be taken with food or 8-12 oz of water to avoid GI effects
Not indicated for children with viral illness; use of salicylates in pediatric patients with varicella or influenzalike illness is associated with increased incidence of Reye syndrome
Heart Failure (HF) risk
NSAIDS have the potential to trigger HF by prostaglandin inhibition that leads to sodium and water retention, increased systemic vascular resistance, and blunted response to diuretics
High-dose aspirin (greater than 325mg) should be avoided or withdrawn whenever possible
Pregnancy-Lactation
Pregancy
Avoid chronic or intermittent high doses during pregnancy; may affect maternal and newborn hemostasis mechanisms, leading to an increased risk of hemorrhage
High doses may also increase perinatal mortality by intrauterine growth restriction and teratogenic effects
Near term, aspirin may prolong gestation and labor
Premature closure of the ductus arteriosus may occur if used near term with use of full-dose aspirin
Lactation
Drug enters breast milk; a decision should be made regarding whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue drug, taking into account importance of drug to mother
Interactions
Alcohol: do not take Aspirin 2 hours before or 1 hour after consuming alchohol
Dual inhibition of the renin-angiotensin system: Increased risk of renal impairment, hypotension and hyperkalemia
Anticoagulant and antiplatelets: increased risk of bleeding
Anticonvulsants: decreased phenytoin concentration and increased serum valproic acid levels
Methotrexate: increased risk of bone marrow toxicity
NSAIDs: Increased risk of bleeding. Nonselective NSAIDs may interfere with Aspirins antiplatelet effect
Potentially Fatal: May potentiate effects of anticoagulants, methotrexate and oral hypoglycemic.
