Known interactions between the following drugs: Aggrastat, Chili Pepper

Chemicals in capsicum may reduce the stickiness of blood components called platelets. Platelets are partly responsible for forming blood clots that stop bleeding from injuries. When taken together with drugs like tirofiban that also decrease the blood's ability to clot, capsicum can increase the risk of dangerous bleeding. Individuals who take both may need more frequent blood tests to make sure that blood is clotting properly. Those who experience problems,may need to stop taking capsicum until tirofiban is discontinued. You may want to ask your healthcare provider about this potential interaction if you think you are having problems.
