Aspirin and Coumadin and
Prolotherapy
Ross Hauser, M.D.
For many years I have been performing
Prolotherapy on patients who
come to see me already taking
blood thinners, including Coumadin and
aspirin. Let me first say that in all my years of doing
Prolotherapy on patients on Coumadin, I have never had a problem. I
do let them know that there is an increased chance of bleeding
and/or bruising of course, and on very very rare occasions someone
on Coumadin may develop a hematoma (where blood accumulates in the
muscle), but I have never actually had a patient develop a hematoma.
Even if it did happen, the normal treatment is to apply heat to it
and wait until it resolves.
In regard to aspirin, most folks who take this for blood thinning
are taking a baby aspirin or 81mg per day. This amount of aspirin
can thin the blood and I have not found it strong enough to inhibit
the
Prolotherapy. So if you are on aspirin for heart disease
prevention, then by all means continue taking it and don’t worry
about it inhibiting the Prolotherapy. |
