4 (d) Aspirin is a blood thinning agent indicated for prevention of heart stroke. It should be
carefully prescribed with other blood thinning agents
because of risks of bleeding. Lovenox (Enoxaprine), Coumadin (Warfarin), Heparin, Plavix
(Clopidrogel), Ticlid (Ticlopidine), Depakene (Valproic acid), Persantine (Dipyridamole),
Mandol (Cefamandole), Cefotan (Cefotetan), Cefobid (Cefoperazone) and Moxam
(Moxalactam) are agents that increase bleeding tendency in patients and should be carefully
prescribed with other blood thinning agents.

inhibiting aggregation of platelets which is thought to be the primary mechanism of blood
clotting. It is indicated for prevention of heart stroke in patients with CHF.

aggregate asthma.
Metoprolol is a Beta-1 and Beta-2 receptor blockers indicated for treatment of hypertension
and should be carefully prescribed in patient with asthma. Other choices such as Accolate
and Atrovent are indicated for treatment of asthma.

patient must bring a new prescription after this allowable refill is executed. Prescriptions
older than 6 months require a new prescription to fill.
