DRUG INTERACTIONS: Tell your doctor of all over-the-counter and prescription medication you may use including: medication for depression or seizures, all pain relievers, "blood thinners" (anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs such as heparins, warfarin, NSAIDs), corticosteroids (e.g., prednisone), methotrexate, sleeping pills or sedatives. Aspirin is an ingredient in many over-the-counter products. To prevent an overdose of aspirin, read the labels carefully before taking other pain relievers or cold products to be sure they do not contain aspirin. Consult your pharmacist if you are uncertain your over-the-counter products contain aspirin. Do not start or stop any medicine without doctor or pharmacist approval.
