Hello

Thanks for writing to H.C.M. for your query.

I have gone through your query regarding nose bleeding due to anticoagulation effcet of aspirin and ibuprofen. Cautrization over bleeding sites had been done.

Here I would like to tell you this is a common side effect of the aspirin and ibuprofen. To prevent this you are advice for these investigations from time to time-

(1) Platelet count, B.T., C.T.

(2) Prothrombin time.

(3) S.G.P.T.

Since your bleeders had been cautrized and one week time had been passed, therefore prognosis in your case is seems to be excillent. As far as prohibition for wine is concerned you should consult your doctor because this can be decided on the reports of renal profile, Liver profile and your general condition of examination.

Regards.
