Wounds and cuts heal faster if there is no pressure on them and if they are kept relatively motionless. Movement disrupts the formation of the new blood vessels. Bandages keep the wound clean, keep harmful bacteria out, and maintain moisture to prevent your skin from drying out. Bandages should be changed daily.
You must wait at least eight weeks (56 days) between donations of whole blood and 16 weeks (112 days) between Power Red donations. Platelet apheresis donors may give every 7 days up to 24 times per year. Regulations are different for those giving blood for themselves (autologous donors).
â Avodart or Jalyn (dutasteride) - wait 6 months from the last dose. â Aspirin, no waiting period for donating whole blood. However you must wait 48 hours after taking aspirin or any medication containing aspirin before donating platelets by apheresis. â Effient (prasugrel) - wait 14 days after taking this medication before donating platelets by apheresis. â Feldene (piroxicam) - no waiting period for donating whole blood. However, you must wait 48 hours after taking Feldene (piroxicam) before donating platelets by apheresis.
