Symptoms of changes in your liver include yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes and easy bruising. Talk to your doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. \n •  You may have a drop in the levels of infection-fighting white blood cells, red blood cells, or cells that help you form blood clots. If drops in levels are severe, they can lessen your ability to fight infections, make you feel tired or sluggish or cause you to bruise or bleed easily. Talk to your doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. \n •  Your thyroid function may change. Symptoms of changes in the function of your thyroid include feeling cold or hot much of the time or change in your weight (gain or loss) without a change in your diet or amount of exercise you are getting. Talk to your doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. \n •  Some patients taking interferons have become very depressed and/ or anxious.

If you feel sad or hopeless you should tell a friend or family member right away and call your doctor immediately. \n •  Flulike symptoms are likely to occur. They are most common at the start of therapy and may decrease with continued use. Over-the-counter fever reducers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol, others), ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil, others), and naproxen (Aleve), plenty of fluid, and taking the medication at bedtime may help to alleviate these symptoms.

I wouldn't without talking to your doctor first.  Aspirin thins the blood like Plavix does, you'll be more likely to bleed.  Always call your doctor for questions like this for your safety!  :  )

Personally, I believe these are more of a benefit than a hazard, if used properly.\nAnti-clotting drugs, or blood-thining drugs, are used to make the blood less viscous (sticky). For patients already with blood clots or cholesterol plagues in the blood vessels, taking anti-clotting drugs can help prevent further growth of the clot, and so prevent heart attack, stroke, or other diseases due to blocked blood vessels.\nHowever, because these drugs are for preventing the blood from clotting, taking these drugs would cause difficult clotting in wounds.\n\nFor angioplasty, it is a surgery done to open up blocked or collapsed blood vessels, most commonly in coronary vessels in the heart in patients with coronary heart disease. It involves inserting a catheter from the femoral artery (a blood vessel in the upper thigh) and up to the heart, with a deflated balloon at the tip. Upon reaching the blockage, the balloon is blown up to open up the blood vessel, then a stent (a frame) is put in the blood vessel to prevent re-collapsing of the vessel.\nAngioplasty has now developed into a fairly sophisicated operation. The wound from angioplasty is quite small, and no matter how scary stuffing a catheter from the leg up to the heart sounds, it is done with general anaethesia (pain-killing) and does not pose much risk to the patient, except the possibility of overdose on the anaethesia!

Risk factors for developing blood clots when on birth control include smoking and advanced age such as over 35.  They mention these factors on the TV spots.  As far as symptoms, sometimes blood clots do not have symptoms, but when they do, some of the symptoms are as follows.  There are 2 primary areas of blood clots that I believe you are referring to.  The blood clots that do have symptoms can manifest as a deep venous thrombosis generally in the lower extremity or leg.  They can manifest as redness, pain, and/or warmth in the leg.  They can sometimes be associated palpable cord in the leg or calf pain with pointing your toes up in the direction of your nose.  If the blood clot spreads from the deep veins in the leg up to the lung, then the symptoms can include chest pain, pain when you take a deep breath or cough, shortness of breath, dizziness, fainting, palpitations, and coughing up blood.  With both locations, you can have any, all, or none of the symptoms.  The blood clot can spread or "embolize" virtually instaneously from the leg to the lung and that is why treatment is initiated soon after diagnosis.  As blood clots are potentially life threatening, any suspicion should warrant immediately contacting your physician!  Also, if you read the package insert for your contraceptive, that should provide more info.

Probably a little more complicated to be able to answer your question with so little information.  Raynaud's is a spasm of the blood vessels in the fingers, hands, toes, etc., and it does not cause hemorrhaging.  If he is taking plavix, he may bruise easily and become more susceptible to bleeding.  Let his doctor know.

Vaginal bleeding and cramping are expected consequences of the action of Mifeprex as used in the treatment procedure. Following administration of mifepristone and misoprostol in the French clinical studies, 80 to 90% of women reported bleeding more heavily than they do during a heavy menstrual period (see WARNINGS, Bleeding for additional information). Women also typically experience abdominal pain, including uterine cramping. Other commonly reported side effects were nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Pelvic pain, fainting, headache, dizziness, and asthenia occurred rarely. Some adverse reactions reported during the four hours following administration of misoprostol were judged by women as being more severe than others: the percentage of women who considered any particular adverse event as severe ranged from 2 to 35% in the U.S. and French trials. After the third day of the treatment procedure, the number of reports of adverse reactions declined progressively in the French trials, so that by day 14, reports were rare except for reports of bleeding and spotting.

No...they are not safe and can in some cases lead to heart failure..Reason being that sudden rush of blood to the penis leads to sudden blood loss from the heart, lungs and brain.and major organs because of unnatural forces...if something as simple as viagra need warning by heart surgeons what do you think about pumps?hmmm\n2) it can also damage the blood vessels/tissues in the penis...

definitely dark green leafy vegetables will slow the clotting time due to the vitamin k they contain, black licorice i believe affects the clotting time as well as some of the herbal remedies.  avoiding aspirin also due to the thinning it may cause.

Well, the other reply was correct about any anticoagulant added having to be safe; not cause complications for the recipient of the blood, but wrong about chilling being able to stop blood coagulation; it is not very effective.\n\nWhat is wrong with the present additives?  AFAICR, they add glucose and citrate and adenosine.  The citrate can be metabolised by the recipient, as food energy, so it will not cause trouble.  It works well, AFAIK.
