Hi
Yes Petsch I take Hydroxy and Aspirin also. You will find many people on this forum who take both or if not Aspirin something like Clopidogrel which performs similar function. Liz
Yes very much so as they do different "jobs" on our blood so yes most still take aspirin when prescribed HU
Yes, I take aspirin alongside hydroxy. Diagnosis ET.
Hi Petsch, Yes, started with aspirin in 2006 and taking hydroxy and aspirin for last 5 years. Anne
Yes, aspirin since 2009 and hydroxyl last 3 yrs. JW
As previous answers have said, normal to be on both.
Yes
yes baby aspirin every day with my hu for the last 22 years, according to mt Haem it makes the platelets less sticky.
Insist on gastro resistance if you take them long term as I do plus Hu. Sallie
Yes, I take one baby aspirin with my hydroxy. I was just prescribed hydroxy but was already taking baby aspirin for 3 months because I had stents inserted. My haem said he would have put me on baby aspirin anyway after diagnosing me with ET.
This journey does not require you to have a degree in pharmacology that is what your team is all about.technology moves on , aspirin keeps the blood thin and free from clots which block off the fine vessels hydroxide is to blanket the effect of the raised rogue platelets. They work in unison.
They are more effective together.
Hydroxy is a cytotoxic drug and it’s use is to destroy blood cells I.e. a form of chemotherapy.
I do. 300 mg every day now for 12 years and hydroxy for 10 years. I was told I will always have to take both.
Hi Petsch, I take both - aspirin 81mg and HU for PV.
