Aspirin ?

[Bazile]

I'm taking a daily dose of Aspirin tablets - 75 mg

Do you think that it is the cause of a mild upset stomach which i suffering ?

[daisya]

Could be, it's known for it though there may be other factors in the equasion, have you only started to have stomach upset since taking them?

[Sqad]

No.

[daisya]

Sqad, love your straight to the point masterful answers lol <kiss>

[ummmm]

I thought you weren't suppose to take them on an empty stomach?

[Bazile]

I've been taking them for quite a while now

Sqad - fair do's - I asked a question inviting a one word answer .
However any reason why you consider it not to be a factor ?

[Wharton]

Doctor - "Go for a walk on an empty stomach".
Patient - "Whose"?

[Mamyalynne]

Wrong topic Wharton??

Bazile. I was recently prescribed 75mg dispersible Aspirin daily and Omeprazole to prevent stomach upset from the Aspirin.
Sqad....would rather take as few pills as possible...do I need the second?

[Sqad]

Bazile.....yes.......a dose of 75mgms is like "p1ssing in the ocean".....enough to make your platelets less sticky, but hardly enough to cause gastric erosions.

Anyway i feel that there is a certain amount of hysteria about aspirin causing gastric upsets......particularly 75 mgms.

Many years ago my doctor advised me to take a low dose aspirin daily which didn't give any side effects to my knowledge. Now he's suggested I stop taking them. Confusing isn't it?

[Sqad]

gness......give it a try.

[Wharton]

Yes mamyalynne, sorry Bazile.

[Bazile]

Or should I say - what is the reason why you say no ?

[gness]

Lord Sqad ......the times I've heard that. x

[Bazile]

sorry - went away briefly and did not look before i started typing again

[Baldric]

I take the same daily dose, I was advised to dilute them before taking to avoid irritating the gut.

[Bazile]

gness - I was prescribed Lansoprazole - so i must have mentioned it to my GP previously

[Bazile]

// I take the same daily dose, I was advised to dilute them before taking to avoid irritating the gut. //

How ?

[gness]

Mine are ones you put in....scotch I think...could be water at a pinch and they dissolve, Bazile.

[Bazile]

Baldric - what do you mean by 'dilute' them
