Can I take 75 and Patches together?

Why this happens

Aspirin 75mg is a low-dose blood thinner used to prevent heart attacks and strokes. Nicotine patches provide a steady dose of nicotine to help with smoking cessation. These two substances work through completely different pathways in the body and do not interfere with each other's absorption, metabolism, or effects.

You can continue to use your nicotine patches while taking your daily 75mg aspirin. If you experience any unusual bruising or bleeding, or if you feel unwell, speak to your pharmacist or GP.
