Posso prendere Aspirina e Sertralina insieme?

Using aspirina e sertralina together may increase the risk of bleeding. You should only take them together if your doctor has specifically told you to.

Perché succede

Sertraline belongs to a group of antidepressants (SSRIs) that can lower the amount of serotonin in your blood platelets, which are the cells responsible for clotting.

Aspirin also thins the blood by preventing these platelets from sticking together. When used together, their effects combine, making it much harder for your blood to clot if a blood vessel is damaged.

• If you must take both, watch out for signs of bleeding such as unusual bruising, nosebleeds, or dark poo (stools).

• If you experience severe stomach pain or vomit blood (which may look like coffee grounds), seek medical help immediately.

• Your doctor may suggest taking a 'stomach protector' medicine (such as omeprazolo) to reduce the risk of ulcers.

Disturbi depressivi e d'ansia

Potresti sperimentare un aumento dei pensieri suicidi o dell'impulso di autolesionarti all'inizio del trattamento con sertralina o quando cambi la dose. Questo è più comune nei giovani adulti sotto i 25 anni. Contatta immediatamente il tuo medico o vai in ospedale se noti cambiamenti nel tuo umore o nel tuo comportamento.

Aumento del rischio di sanguinamento

Taking aspirin and sertraline together significantly increases your risk of serious stomach bleeding. Seek urgent medical help if you vomit blood or pass black, tarry stools.

Asma

Non assumere aspirina se hai una storia di asma scatenata da aspirina o altri farmaci antinfiammatori non steroidei (FANS), poiché può causare un attacco d'asma potenzialmente letale.

Low sodium (hyponatraemia)

Sertraline can cause a dangerous drop in blood sodium levels, particularly in the elderly. Seek medical advice if you experience persistent confusion, muscle weakness, or seizures.

Bambini e adolescenti sotto i 16 anni

Never give aspirin to children or teenagers under 16 unless specifically prescribed by a doctor, due to the risk of Reye’s syndrome, a rare but fatal condition affecting the brain and liver.

Alcol

Drinking alcohol while taking aspirin increases the risk of irritation and bleeding in your stomach and digestive tract. It is best to limit or avoid alcohol, especially if you take aspirin regularly.

It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol while taking sertraline. Combining alcohol with this medicine can increase side effects like drowsiness, dizziness, and impaired coordination. Additionally, both alcohol and sertraline can affect your mood, potentially making symptoms of depression or anxiety worse.

Caffeina

Sertraline can sometimes increase the effects of caffeine in your body. This may lead to feeling more jittery, anxious, or having difficulty sleeping. Monitor your caffeine intake to see how it affects you.

Succo di pompelmo

Grapefruit juice can increase the levels of sertraline in your blood, which may increase the risk of side effects. While the effect is usually modest, it is best to avoid drinking large amounts of grapefruit juice.
