Nurse calls down, patient has been on Aggrenox for a while now and just had a PEG tube placed today. Order is still there for Aggrenox 1 cap PO BID. In this case, the order gets automodified to Aggrenox 1 cap via pegtube BID. Nurse is asking if she can open up the capsule and put the contents down the PEG tube? I'm hearing yes and no from different sources online.
Now technically, we have dipyridamole tablets and we have aspirin (lowest dose is 81 mg). The dose of Aggrenox is 200 mg dipyridamole/25 mg aspirin. What's our options?
