Abstract: . . .  the blood should not use aspirin unless recommend- ed by a health professional. There are also dietary supplements known to thin the blood. Using aspirin with alcohol or with another prod- uct that also contains aspirin, such as a cough- cold-sinus drug, can increase the chance of side effects. Your health professional will consider your current state of health. Some medical conditions, such as pregnancy, uncontrolled high blood pres- sure, bleeding disorders, asthma, peptic (stomach) ulcers, liver and kidney disease, could make aspirin a bad choice for you. Make sure that all your health professionals are aware that you are using aspirin to reduce your risk of heart attack and clot-related strokes. When you don't have the labeling directions to guide you, you need the medical knowledge of your doctor, nurse practitioner or other health professional. Make sure to tell your health professional all the medicines (prescription and over-the-counter) and dietary supplements, including vitamins and herbals, that you use--even if only occasionally.  . . .
