What aspirin do?

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.

Can you take Ibuprofen if allergic to aspirin?

The combination of a salicylate (aspirin) and ibuprofen (which are both NSAIDs) may increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. It is advised to not take these two medications together at the same time, especially in high doses. If both medications are needed / required; Ibuprofen should be administered 30-120 minutes after, or at least 8 hours before, aspirin. It is also advised to talk to your doctor when combining these two drugs.

Also, aspirin and ibuprofen cancel out each others effects and shouldn't be taken together.

-Aspirin is taken to prevent heart attacks and strokes. Like ibuprofen it also relieves fever, pain and inflammation.

-Ibuprofen is taken to relive pain, fever and inflammation with less effect on platelets

According to the Mayo Clinic (related link) taking ibuprofen greatly reduces the benefits of daily aspirin therapy.

The best advice is almost always TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR.

If the use of both drugs is unavoidable, use aspirin first, then wait for 4 hours before using ibuprofen.

Answer:

You shouldn't be mixing aspirin with anything, or mixing ibuprofin with anything.

Aspirin has been known to cause Reys Syndrome in children under 19.

Follow the dosages on the box with the aspirin or the ibuprofin.

How many baby aspirin can an adult take at one time?

This depends on the size of the aspirin, and what exactly is meant by "at one time".

If you mean how many can be ingested in parallel, that would depend on the size of the esophagus relative to the size of the individual tablets, caplets, gelcaps, or whatever form of aspirin being ingested.

If you mean how many can be physically contained by a human (I'm assuming you are concerned with humans here, which may not be correct) then the answer would depend on the size of the stomach, previous stomach contents, and how much water was necessary to swallow the aspirin, among other things.

If you mean "How many aspirin can be safely taken at one time" you should probably read the label on the bottle, and consult your physician.

If you take aspirin as a blood thinner and then take it for pain do you overdose?

The amount of aspirin usually "about half an aspirin", taken to serve as a blood thinning agent is very small compared to that used for the treatment of pain, so the difference it would make should be negligible, However you can allow for it by taking the amount taken for the blood thinning from the dose for the pain. In any case you don't have anything to worry about.

Does aspirin contain sulpha?

No, just carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

Chemically, it's 2-acetoxybenzoic acid... the ester of salicylic acid and acetic acid (this is possible because salicylic acid has both carboxylic acid and alcohol functional groups).

If the aspirin is in the form of "geltabs", or gelatin is used as a packaging material, then there would be a teeny tiny amount of sulfur, as gelatin contains small amounts of methionine, a sulfur-containing amino acid.
