  1. It's generally recommended that if you have symptoms of a
    heart attack, you should take an aspirin tablet right away.
    But what about persons who are already on coumadin? (For
    atrial fibrillation, in my case.) They are not supposed to
    use aspirin or ibuprofen, according to the package insert
    of coumadin.

  2. My cardiologist has me on both aspirin (325mg D) and
    coumadin(5mgD)

    The same applies.

    It is a relative contraindication where the aspirin may be
    taken with the coumadin for either the treatment or
    prevention of heart attacks under the direction of a
    physician.
