Palm Oil and Aspirin, Carisoprodol, Codeine Phosphate

Here is the interaction we found between these two, with the evidence behind it.

Moderate

ANTICOAGULANT/ANTIPLATELET DRUGS

Why this applies to Aspirin, Carisoprodol, Codeine Phosphate

Aspirin, Carisoprodol, Codeine Phosphate falls under ANTICOAGULANT/ANTIPLATELET DRUGS — the group Palm Oil interacts with.

Theoretically, palm oil might decrease the effectiveness of antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs.
The palm olein constituent in palm oil seems to increase platelet aggregation.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence B

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

The piece of this combination pill that matters here is the aspirin, which works as a blood thinner by keeping your platelets from clumping together. The concern with palm oil is that one of its fats (palm olein) may nudge your platelets back toward sticking together more easily. In theory, that could slightly work against the aspirin and make it a touch less effective at doing its job.

Honestly, this is a fairly soft, theoretical concern. Using palm oil the way most people do in cooking is very unlikely to cause trouble. Larger, concentrated palm-oil supplements are where I'd be more cautious. If you're taking aspirin specifically to protect your heart, check with your pharmacist or doctor before adding a palm-oil supplement.

About Palm Oil

What is Palm Oil?

  • Cooking and food preparation
  • Source of vitamin A (red palm oil)
  • Vitamin E (tocotrienols)
  • Skin and hair care
  • General nutrition

Palm oil is a widely used edible oil pressed from the fruit of the oil palm tree, and red palm oil is a notable source of vitamin A and vitamin E compounds called tocotrienols. As a food it is generally considered safe, but it is high in saturated fat, so it should be used in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using concentrated palm-oil supplements, especially if you have heart or cholesterol concerns.
