Quote from mgraylorn:

JTU, I like the rxlist and check it a lot. I read about Tiazac, the ccb I take. I can't find anything about not taking aspirin with it. All I could find was to be careful with anesthetics. My doctor suggested I take a low dose aspirin when I was first diagnosed with hbp, and I've continued that.

I also checked one of the drug interaction websites and all I got were hits to avoid alcohol with aspirin and grapefruit juice with ccbs. Nothing about ccbs and aspirin.

:wave: Mgraylor, i used the drug tracker. I put all the meds i take on a regular basis, verapamil, norvasc, (use to take until today) torsemide, levothroid. The report came back that verapamil, norvasc and torsemide (with asprin) were drug-drug and it stated that asprin made these ineffective. Of course i take a full adult asprin. My cardio took me off the 81mgs and put me on 325mgs.

I took myself off the asprin after reading that on the drug tracker at drug.com My numbers did come down from 180/72 to 150/80. I will have to go back on asprin, but i will wait until i go back to my gp for his ok. Sorry, it wasn't rxlist but drugs.com

That's what i started doing. It was a little difficult at first bcuz i tried to take my asprin when i took the levothroid med. I needed food w/ asprin but none with levothroid.

Lenin, i also take the garlic and the vitamin e. I was told my blood was too sticky, i knew plavix was the next script so i just started the vit. e, asprin and garlic. I had a blood draw last week and now my blood platelet are fine. As for the asprin/ccb, i was so shocked i had to go to another drug tracker site to check it again. Maybe that's why my bp wasn't going down too much.
