Does anyone know how significant is the interaction between Evening Primrose Oil and Aspirin? Clin Pharm did not pop up any interactions.. but Lexi-Comp says there is a major interaction..using the 2 in combination will increase risk of bleeding.

It can increase INR (on the warfarin interaction list), but I don't know that I'd consider it a "major" interaction with aspirin...

If someone was on long-term therapy (daily aspirin or warfarin) I probably wouldn't recommend taking them together. Micromedex lists it as moderate.
