Can I take Aspirin® as a painreliever if I am at the same time taking low-dose acetylsalicylic acid (for example as a preventive treatment for my heart)?
Yes, a regular low dose of acetylsalicylic acid (around 100 mg) is sufficient to ensure anticoagulation or blood thinning prophylaxis. One single dose of acetylsalicylic acid of 325 – 1000 mg is required for the treatment of acute pain. This dosage does not interfere (by enhancing or weakening the effect) with the blood-thinning properties of low-dose acetylsalicylic acid taken for prevention.
