I just went to donate plasma for the first time today and I am taking spironolactone. The doctor told me that spironolactone is a diuretic and thins your blood and so in conjunction with the blood thinners they use in the donation process, it is not safe to donate. So I will not be allowed to donate until 48 hours after I have stopped taking spironolactone.
probably not as it would be present in the blood system. to be certain check with your GP or with the blood donor organisation group.
Yes, you can there is no temporary deferal either.
It's it safe to donate plasma and take niacin pills
Viagra leaves the body so yes.
Taking lithium is an automatic 6 month deferral until after you stop taking the medication. Lithium is bound to plasma protein and interferes with plasma processing.
I take Spironolactone to lower my blood pressure. Spironolactone will definitely not get you high but you might get a little dizzy from low blood pressure a short time after taking your prescribed dose.
Yes, you should be able to donate plasma while taking phentermine. I recommend reaching out to the donation center and asking. I go to BioLife and am prescribed phentermine and am still able to donate plasma.
I wish I knew I'm trying to do this tomorrow please let me know how your experience went .
I was told today at the Canadian Blood Service (after taking time off work to donate because O- was in demand) that I was ineligible to donate within 24 hours of taking quetiapine (seroquel). Their reasoning was that the loss of blood may decrease the effectiveness of the drug, even though I only take it to sleep and it was 18 hours since my last dose, 6 hours before my next one. Disappointing.
Yes, you can donate blood while taking meloxicam. You cannot donate blood if you are taking antibiotics.
No. You can not give plasma if taking acyclovir.
no,you would not be able to give blood after having a spleenectomy,besides the surgery you are already compromised without the spleen and don't need to decrease your white cells,used to fight infection even though they they will increase again,don't take the risk.
Not for you personally (apart from a sense of pride, knowing you're helping others). The plasma donation you give can benefit more than one patient. I was donor for 30 years until I had to start taking daily medication, which now prevents me donating.
