Strawberry and Aluminum Hydroxide, Aspirin, Magnesium Hydroxide

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

Moderate

ANTICOAGULANT/ANTIPLATELET DRUGS

Why this applies to Aluminum Hydroxide, Aspirin, Magnesium Hydroxide

Aluminum Hydroxide, Aspirin, Magnesium Hydroxide falls under ANTICOAGULANT/ANTIPLATELET DRUGS — the group Strawberry interacts with.

In vitro and animal research suggests that strawberry extract can inhibit platelet aggregation due to its phenolic content. Theoretically, strawberry might increase the risk of bleeding when used with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs.
Some anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs include aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), dalteparin (Fragmin), enoxaparin (Lovenox), heparin, ticlopidine (Ticlid), warfarin (Coumadin), and others.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence D

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

This product (Ascriptin) pairs aspirin with two antacids. The aspirin part already works as a blood thinner by keeping platelets from clumping together. Strawberries contain plant compounds (polyphenols) that, in lab and animal studies, seem to do a little of the same thing. So on paper, eating a lot of strawberry could nudge aspirin's blood-thinning effect a bit higher.

The honest truth: this is based only on test-tube and animal research, so it's mostly theoretical. Enjoying strawberries in normal food amounts is very unlikely to cause a problem. Concentrated strawberry supplements are a different story. Just keep an eye out for easy bruising, nosebleeds, or bleeding that's slow to stop, and check with your pharmacist or doctor before adding strawberry supplements.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Aluminum Hydroxide, Aspirin, Magnesium Hydroxide page

“Ascriptin combines aspirin with two antacids, aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide, and the aspirin part already thins the blood on its own. That is why more than 200 of the 255 ingredients listed here can raise bleeding risk, and why this page deserves a careful read rather than a quick skim.”

About Aspirin

What Is Aspirin Used For?

Brand name: Ascriptin

Aspirin is used to temporarily relieve minor aches and pains from headaches, backaches, muscle aches, toothaches, menstrual cramps, the common cold, and minor arthritis pain. It also temporarily reduces fever.

Some coated aspirin tablet products note that, under a doctor's supervision, aspirin can help prevent another heart attack or stroke in adults who have already had one. Because of their delayed-release design, those coated products will not give fast relief for headaches or other symptoms needing quick relief.
