Was wondering if anyone on this forum has heard of taking a baby aspirin 30 min before injection to help avoid hitting a blood vessel? I read it on another forum.

Never heard of it, doesnt make much sense as the aspirin only kinda thin your blood out by interfering with the platelets.
IMO it can make you bleed more, but avoiding blood vessel?? Whats the logic behind it?

Aspirin does many things, it inhibits platelet aggregation and reduces inflammatory response by inhibiting cyclooxygenase 1 and 2 primarily which inhibits prostaglandin production.
None of these will help avoid hitting a vein.

aspirin ? It is often used to treat pain, fever, and inflammation.

This is just your know-it-all buddies trying to sound smart. Ignore people like this unless you see documented proof from a SMA scholar that taking baby asprin prior to injections is a good idea.

Never heard of this. I don't even understand the theory on how this could make you miss knicking a vein....Originally Posted by yardbirdaj

Just noticed the baby aspirin in the title, this is a misnomer. Aspirin is usually contraindicated in infants. It's just a low dose aspirin, fun fact.

So please, people, don't try to shove pills down your baby's throat...

Contraindicated in children in most states too.

Probably due to the risk of Reye's Syndrome, and because kids are most at risk for trauma. More risks, less benefit (because what the hell would a kid really need aspirin for that Tylenol or Advil wouldn't cover?)

I agree^
Aspirin if I'm not mistaken is the most harsh on the COX enzymes, not good for the tummy.

I thought it made no logical sense as well. Just wanted to get other opinions.
