What the FDA labels say about taking them together

Aspirin and verapamil

Verapamil's FDA label (Verapamil Hydrochloride) of November 27, 2024 names aspirin in its drug interactions section; the aspirin label PlainMeds reads does not name verapamil. The verapamil label: “In a few reported cases, coadministration of verapamil with aspirin has led to increased bleeding times greater than observed with aspirin alone.”

Check it at the source: the aspirin FDA label on DailyMed (effective September 9, 2025); the verapamil FDA label on DailyMed (effective April 6, 2026, Zydus Pharmaceuticals (USA) Inc.).

These are the labels' own sentences. PlainMeds does not grade interactions; a pharmacist or prescriber can say what they mean for one person's medicines.
