What is an alternative to aspirin for weakened vein condition?
Patient: Hello, my name is Elizabeth Gray, my question is , I am currently taking aspirin for a weakened vein condition to keep my blood from getting to thick but I have a rash like hives on my neck and chest which is driving me crazy and I think it is because of the aspirin as it has happened before, can I safely stop taking the aspirin and maybe go on something else instead. thank you. Doctor: Hi,  You started taking aspirin but for which condition you forgot to mention . It is anti platelet drug at lower dose and hence prescribed in conditions which can led to thromboembolic conditions. It has side effect of bleeding which currently you are facing .  So ask your doc to shift to other group of drug ( as should not be stopped abruptly ).   Thanks n regards
