FDA video: Ibuprofen Interferes With Aspirin's Heart Protective Benefit
Tuesday, November 07, 2006

I've blogged before that you should:
- take your daily dose of immediate-release low dose
aspirin at least 30 minutes before you ever take
ibuprofen and possibly any non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (
NSAID).
- Otherwise, you should wait at least 8 hours after taking a dose of
ibuprofen before taking your daily aspirin dose, in order to avoid preventing the heart-protecting anti-platelet effects of
aspirin.
Now, the
FDA has come up with an online podcast video describing this same information. Watch and learn! Click on one of the following options:
