Can aspirin be taken with Eliquis for DVT/PE?

If you can believe it, there is still research being done on using aspirin! It's only been in use since the 1700's. Anyway, if you have not had a cardiovascular event (heart attack or stroke), but you have other risk factors (diabetes,obesity,smoking,etc) they say that using aspirin preventatively, that the other risk factors should be addressed first prior to just giving the person a pill to prevent an event. That being said, they work on different parts of the blood. You can't take aspirin for a blood clot but if you have a stent put in after an angiogram, sometimes you have to take aspirin and another blood "thinner" so the stent doesn't clot off. The more you take of course the higher the risk for bleeding. Sometimes you have to take the risks so you don't die. I don't think you need to see a hematologist for this issue. If you have a cardiologist then ask that dr. If you are taking it preventatively, your primary care should tell you what to do. Who told you to take it and why? Ask that dr if possible. You have to be able to trust your health care provider and monitor yourself, report any symptoms you find strange or different and research if you can. Sending healing energy to you.

Hi Juanita Bonita;
If you have had DVT, after the clot(s) have been dissolved, you would have been prescribed an anti-coagulant like Eliquis by a Haemotologist.
Suggest you consult the Haemotologist for your query because Eliquis and aspirin are not quite compatible.
