Asprin and Pregnacare?

[Rainbow714]

Is anyone else taking Asprin daily? But taking the Vitamin Pregnacare too?

Clicked too quickly then, ive been taking 150g of Asprin daily (on an evening) like requested by my consultant. I also take Pregnacare vitamin too. Is it safe to take both? Ive read lots of mixed messages online now! 🙁

I am. I'm taking 75mg aspirin as advised by my consultant.

I took aspirin and my supplement (different brand). I can’t understand what the issue could be?

I just read that Pregnacare has Vitamin K in which shouldnt be taking with blood thiners ie Asprin. Ive never heard of this before and ive been taking both since 12 weeks. Wondered anybody else heard of this.

I should add that I was told to take the 75mg aspirin by my consultant along with a pregnancy folic acid/multi vit. She didn't advise me to stay away from any particular brand. When I told my GP and Midwife what I was taking they both didn't say anything.

I'm taking both! Havent heard any advice to the contrary...

This makes me feel better thank you all. Is it Pregnacare you take or a different brand? I chose that vitamin has it had everything in..x

Sorry just wounding what’s the aspirin for?

*wondering. And I take pregnacare

I take both and midwife has never questioned it.

I take 150mg aspirin and pregnacare.
I remember telling my midwife I was taking pregnacare during the same appointment that she advised me to take aspirin and she never mentioned anything.
I’ve also spoken to a consultant who double checked that I was taking aspirin and she never mentioned avoiding any vitamins either.

I've never heard of this OP - I'm taking 75mg of aspirin and pregnacare. I mentioned that I was taking both at my consultant appointment (as it came up due to something else) but they never mentioned any issues.

I take both I've mentioned it to the midwife and consultant and neither said anything so I'm hoping it's no issue.

I'm taking both

Thank you so much, feeling much more relaxed now will continue to take both. 😀

Hi i take 150mg of aspirin daily too (for low papp a). Also taking pregnacare. I panicked when I read about not to take them off your on blood thinners so phoned my GP. He said that 150mg is such a small dose that it makes no difference. You shouldn't be taking both if you were on a much, much higher dose (for heart conditions etc.)

Thank you for the advice, pregnancy is such a worrying time isnt it x

I think the vitamin k (and c for completeness) relates to warfarin rather than aspirin - they both change how quickly your body processing the warfarin which impacts on how thin or thick your blood is. It is a particular problem for warfarin as there is such a narrow window of dosing from where it is therapeutic slightly above or below is and it can cause clots or bleeds.
I don't believe that aspirin has the same sensitivity to vitamin k and if it does it is less of a problem because it has a wider dosing range so small variations in the amount of aspirin in your blood won't change the desired effect.
I hope that helps explain the warning label. One of my parents is a warfarin user and they got a list of otc medications/supplements /foods to avoid because of how sensitive it is but not when they were on aspirin.

Thank you for explaining it, it does explain the warning.

Hi Girls have any of you taken Aspirin 150mg together with Pregnacare max whoch has omega 3 in it is it ok if i take both at the same time please advice thank you.
