Why should you not take blood thinners and avoid taking aspirin or ibuprofen?
Aspirin and Ibuprofen belong to a group of drugs called NSAIDs (Non Steroidal Anti inflammatory Drugs). The all help block pain and inflammation by inhibiting COX, an enzyme responsible for prostaglandins etc. Stop COX and you reduce or stop and further inflammation. Aspirin, Ibuprofen and the like are highly acidic and even on the own can cause indigestion and stomach problems. Together, the side effects just multiply. Sometime low dose aspirin is used to prevent cardiac problems such as blood clots and to improve circulation. There is some evidence that concomittant NSAIDs with Aspirin will reduce the efficacy of the antiplatelet activity. Dr Chris

Always consult a healthcare professional before starting any medication, including baby aspirin.

When you hold medications in your mouth with water and swallow once they dissolve does it decrease the medication's effectivity?
Oral medication is coated for a few reasons, but the most prevalent is that the medication is intended to dissolve in a certain part of your body. For instance, your stomach resists acids a lot better than your mouth or esophagus, so aspirin, which is an acid, it typically enterically coated so as to not release the medication until it's in an area where the aspirin will do the least damage. Holding an aspirin in your mouth until it dissolves isn't likely to increase the efficacy of the medication -- in fact it may reduce it -- as well as hurting your mouth. For non-coated meds, they'll typically dissolve very fast in your stomach, so the onset of the medication's effects will differ by almost no time at all. In a very few meds you might get a faster onset of the medication's effects, but this is rarely the case, and in some cases may be quite dangerous. So -- in summary -- usually no appreciable difference, and where there is, it may be dangerous.
