Medications impact on Residual nitrogen level buildup

[Seageek]

Doc,
This has probably been asked before but I couldn't find it. How does blood pressure medication and an aspirin regiment affect the diver? Mostly does it change nitrogen buildup?

Hello Seageek:

I do not think blood pressure meds would influence gas uptake and elimination in clinical doses. Aspirin was once thought to reduce DCS in humans but was without effect. [It had some effect in small lab animals.]
