Aspirin (Baby) interactions
with Fish Oil
Caution · mildAdditive platelet inhibition — both reduce clotting through different mechanisms. At low aspirin doses this combination is widely used and generally tolerated; higher aspirin doses increase bleeding risk.
Timing: Low-dose aspirin (81 mg) with fish oil is generally safe; monitor for bruising
with Ginkgo Biloba
Caution · moderateGinkgo biloba has significant antiplatelet properties via PAF antagonism. Combined with aspirin, bleeding risk is substantially increased. Multiple case reports of spontaneous bleeding (intracranial, post-surgical) from this combination.
Timing: Avoid combination, especially pre-surgery; use one or the other
