Why cannot aspirin be taken with metoprolol?
High doses of salicylates (aspirin) may blunt the antihypertensive effects of beta-blockers. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis. Low-dose aspirin does not appear to affect blood pressure. In addition, beta-blockers may exert an antiplatelet effect, which may be additive with the effects of some salicylates. Metoprolol may also increase aspirin absorption and/or plasma concentrations of salicylates; however, the clinical significance of this effect is unknown. Data have been conflicting. Until more information is available, patients who require concomitant therapy should be monitored for altered antihypertensive response whenever a salicylate is introduced or discontinued, or when its dosage is modified. Regardless, the problem is rather minor.

Why is aspirin called a blood thinner?
Aspirin is called a "blood thinner" but it does not "thin" the blood: it makes the clotting time of the blood longer but there is no actual "thinning" involved. Platelets are small particles in the blood that cause blood clots to form. Aspirin prevents the platelets from forming blood clots. Therefore, aspirin can increase bleeding by preventing blood from clotting though it also can be used therapeutically to prevent clots from causing heart attacks and strokes.
Is aspirin an anti inflammatory?
Aspirin is a pain reliever with anti-inflammatory effects.
Even at low doses, it reduces the tendency of the blood to clot, and is therefore useful to prevent heart attacks and strokes. The anti-clotting effect means aspirin is best avoided in injuries that tend to bleed. Its anti-inflammatory effects make it useful for tendonitis.
Aspirin can irritate the stomach. The pills should be taken with food (if possible) to prevent stomach upset. Aspirin should be avoided by persons with active ulcers, and by those on anticoagulants (blood thinners). Aspirin decreases the tendency of the blood to clot for many days after a single dose.
