Answer/Reply from iGuard:
Higher doses of aspirin may decrease your body's sensitivity to Accupril - potentially increasing your blood pressure and decreasing the effectiveness of Accupril. The actual impact of this interaction is currently under debate. If your doctor has recommended that you take aspirin to treat a heart condition or prevent a heart or stroke, most likely he or she feels the benefits of the two medications outweigh the potential interaction. The potential interaction may be reduced if the two medications are taken at different times or if you use a lower dose of aspirin - however, the interaction may still exist. It is also important regularly monitor your blood pressure monitoring while on these two medications to make sure your blood pressure is under control. If you have any questions about this interaction, be sure to review your Accupril/aspirin treatment with your doctor.
