I just went to donate plasma for the first time today and I am taking spironolactone. The doctor told me that spironolactone is a diuretic and thins your blood and so in conjunction with the blood thinners they use in the donation process, it is not safe to donate. So I will not be allowed to donate until 48 hours after I have stopped taking spironolactone.

Can you donate plasma if you take clonazepam?
I was told today at the Canadian Blood Service (after taking time off work to donate because O- was in demand) that I was ineligible to donate within 24 hours of taking quetiapine (seroquel). Their reasoning was that the loss of blood may decrease the effectiveness of the drug, even though I only take it to sleep and it was 18 hours since my last dose, 6 hours before my next one. Disappointing.
