Emedinews: Dr Good Dr Bad : A patient on ACE inhibitors wanted to know whether he could take aspirin.

Situation: A patient on ACE inhibitors wanted to know whether he could take aspirin.
Dr. Bad: No, you cannot take aspirin.
Dr. Good: It can be given if it is a must.
Lesson: Though some evidences suggest that aspirin inhibits the acute affect of ACE inhibitors, most of the evidence do not support an inhibitive affect of aspirin on the long term outcome of ACE inhibitors.
