Avoid taking the following medicines, which make it harder for your blood to clot (unless directed to by your healthcare provider):
Aspirin
Ibuprofen or other NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs)
Warfarin
Don’t take any other medicine without checking with your healthcare provider first. This includes over-the-counter medicines and any herbal remedies or supplements.
Take all medicines exactly as directed.
Limit your alcohol intake. Alcohol can make it harder for your blood to clot and put you at risk for accidents.
Keep all follow-up appointments. Your healthcare provider will need to check your blood platelet count closely.
Tell your dentist or other healthcare providers that you have ITP prior to any procedures.
