No, you should not. Coumedin is a blood-thinner, and if you combine it with NSAIDS, the interaction could cause the blood-thinning properties of Coumedin to intensify. This means it could lead to excessive bleeding (bleeding from the gums, nosebleeds, unusual bruising, etc). Also, there is the risk of irritation to the lining of your stomach. If your doctor has prescribed both of these medications, you may want to ask about this.


You should only take Tylenol and no other NSAID. If you do take another, you will increase the time it will take for your blood to clot.

Mixing aspirin and coumadin?

COUMADIN IS A POWERFUL prescription medication that acts as a BLOODTHINNER to prevent bloodclots and strokes. ASPIRIN also acts as a BLOODTHINNER. SO....unless your physician is a specialist and specifically tells you to take aspirin and Coumadin together, you should NEVER take these two medications together. What will happen is that your blood will lose it's ability to clot. You could suffer anything from a non-stop nosebleed, to internal bleeding. The higher the doses, the more dangerous it is. If you are taking these two together or think you should take them together, PLEASE contact your prescribing physician and your pharmacist AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Best to you.......


Can you take coumadin and robitussin dm?

You can take over the counter Robitussin safely. The DM syrup does not have anything like aspirin or an NSAID drug in it. Coumadin will not interact with the DM Robitussin. When taking coumadin, what you want to watch out for over the counter are NSAIDS - Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs. These drugs can cause blood thinning also. Check the ingredients list before you take over the counter drugs with Coumadin.
