Should I skip aspirin after a covid vaccine?

[livelovelaugh1992]

Hi can I still take my low-dose aspirin the day I got the covid vaccine? Because they gave a leaflet that says try to avoid nsaids like ibuprofen and aspirin is part of that family right? I’m thinking of just skipping for a few days but I’m not sure if that is advisable.

Is anyone here had the same experience?

As usual, the people to ask if you're seriously worried are your healthcare team. Missing the odd day on most medications is not a serious problem (just don't double-dose the day after if you miss a day!). I don't think skipping aspirin for a day or two is going to have any serious effect, but I wasn't aware of any advice about not mixing the vaccine (I had Pfizer) with NSAIDs and just carried on taking all my pills as usual.

Also bear in mind that the aspirin you take to reduce the risk of blood clots is a very low dose and you take one a day. If you take aspirin for pain relief the recommended maximum dose is 3600 mg a day (three 300 mg tablets four times a day). You're taking about a fiftieth of that amount with one 75 mg tablet.

I carried on taking them for both vaccines

I continued with all my medications with both jabs including Aspirin no problem. Jean

Daily 75mg wasn't a problem.

Didn't know about this. Carried on with aspirin as normal. I had Astra Zeneca jab.

As did I.

I had my Pfizer jabs under the supervision of the MPN dept that looks after me and they did not mention stopping the 75 mg aspirin

[Hopetohelp]

I continued with my aspirin throughout jabs and all was fine

I had both Pfizer jabs at the beginning of the year and my Dr told me to continue with 75mg Aspirin and my daily dose of Allopurinol.

I have not stopped any of my medications when having my covid jab. No 0

[Lifam]

I have not stopped any of my medication at all when having the covid vaccine. And have no problem at all.

I did not ask but I just continued taking all the meds I take including aspirin, nothing different happened. Good luck to you.

On both occasions when I had my CoViD19 vaccines (Pfizer BioNTech) I was asked if I took any "blood thinners". I mentioned low-dose Aspirin (75mg EC) but was not told to stop taking this.
