Medical Forum / General / Cardiology / April 2006Take 80 mg aspirin in AM or PM?
I'm 48 yr old man Take 1/3 dose aspirin daily I take it 1st thing in Am along with lipitor and lisinopril tablets However.... I could take it after lunch no problem Any benefit to me taking the aspirin later in day and not loading my stomach up with all the chemicals first thing in AM? > I'm 48 yr old man > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > not loading my stomach up with all the chemicals first > thing in AM? You may stand a better chance of not damaging your stomach lining if you take it after a meal, instead of on an empty stomach. YIKES. Susan >You may stand a better chance of not damaging your stomach lining if you >take it after a meal, instead of on an empty stomach. Sort of what I'm thinking.... hence the question I suffer from GERD.... so wondering if taking the aspirin say at noon better than piling all those pills in stomach first thing in AM Agree? > I'm 48 yr old man > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > not loading my stomach up with all the chemicals first > thing in AM? Not sure it would make a difference. I've been taking a 325mg aspirin every morning along with prevacid, toprol and flecainide without problems. It probably doesn't matter when you take it as long as you try taking it at roughly the same time every day.

Will be available to "glow" and chat about this and other things like cardiology, diabetes, Bird Flu, the Lamb's opening of the 6th seal (Rev. 6:12), cooking and nutrition that interest those following this thread here during the next on-line chat(04/27/06) from 5 to 6 pm EST, LORD willing: http://tinyurl.com/8w7uq For those who are put off by the signature, my advance apologies for how the LORD has reshaped me: http://tinyurl.com/7mcuo Prayerfully in Christ's amazing love, Andrew http://tinyurl.com/zlaml > I'm 48 yr old man > > Take 1/3 dose aspirin daily > > I take it 1st thing in Am along with lipitor and > lisinopril tablets The aspirin probably makes no difference. Many people feel taking Lipitor at night is preferable. Roland >Many people feel taking >Lipitor at night is preferable. Really? How come? Is that a good idea to start doing? > >Many people feel taking > >Lipitor at night is preferable. [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Is that a good idea to start doing? The reason was already posted in another reply - cholesterol synthesis by the liver is maximum at night and peak amounts of the drug which inhibits this synthesis will coincide. The half life of atorvastatin is 14 hours but the half life of inhibitory action is 20-30 hours because the metabolites are also active with respect to inhibition (70% of the inhibitory action is attributed to metabolites). Because of the long lived metabolites the precise time when you take lipitor is not critical but is probably still preferable to take it at night for the reasons outlined. Roland >Because of the long >lived metabolites the precise time when you take lipitor is not critical >but is probably still preferable to take it at night for the reasons Thanks just the answer I need! >I take it 1st thing in Am along with lipitor and >lisinopril tablets . The cholestrol levels tend to increase at night..related to the body's circadian (biological clock) and hormonal levels..Lipitor is most effective when taken at night. I assume a 1/3 dose aspirin daily is = 81mg..You can purchase coated aspirin...most helpful when a person requires daily dosing.. When to take is your choice...I personally prefer to take aspirin on a full stomach..as previously noted it protects the stomach lining....When in doubt, ask your doctor or pharmacist. |
