Piracetam and Aspirin, Omeprazole

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

Major

ANTICOAGULANT/ANTIPLATELET DRUGS

Why this applies to Aspirin, Omeprazole

Aspirin, Omeprazole falls under ANTICOAGULANT/ANTIPLATELET DRUGS — the group Piracetam interacts with.

Theoretically, concomitant use of piracetam and anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs might increase the risk of bleeding.
Preliminary clinical research shows that a single dose of piracetam inhibits platelet aggregation.
Severity Major Likelihood Probable Evidence B

Interaction has not been documented in well-controlled studies, however, the interaction has been demonstrated in some small human studies or in controlled animal studies in conjunction with multiple case reports..

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

Here's the thing to keep in mind with Yosprala (aspirin plus omeprazole): the aspirin part is already working to keep your platelets from clumping together, which is how it lowers your stroke and heart attack risk. Piracetam appears to do something similar. Early research shows even a single dose can make platelets less sticky on its own.

So when you stack the two, you're essentially doubling up on that blood-thinning effect. That can raise your chance of bleeding problems, things like easy bruising, nosebleeds, bleeding gums, or in more serious cases blood in your stool or stomach upset. The omeprazole helps protect your stomach lining, but it doesn't cancel out this added bleeding risk. This is mostly a theoretical concern with some early human data behind it, not a sure thing, but I'd treat it seriously. Please check with your doctor or pharmacist before combining them.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Aspirin, Omeprazole page

“Yosprala pairs aspirin, a blood thinner, with omeprazole, an acid reducer whose job is to shield the stomach from that aspirin, so this list carries real weight and warrants genuine care. Of the 318 supplements and herbs on file, nine are rated major, and understanding those first matters more than reading the rest.”

About Piracetam

What is Piracetam?

  • Memory and cognition ('nootropic')
  • Cognitive decline and dementia
  • Myoclonus
  • Dyslexia in children
  • Vertigo

Piracetam is a synthetic 'nootropic' drug studied mainly for cognitive decline, myoclonus, and certain neurological conditions, but evidence for boosting memory in healthy people is weak. It is a prescription medicine in many countries and is not an approved drug or dietary supplement in the United States, so quality and safety of products sold online vary. Talk to a doctor or pharmacist before using it.
