Brief Answer:
Urologist
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
Atorvastatin has adverse interaction with Trazodone and Claritin increasing the blood levels. The blood in the urine needs to be looked into and the specialist to see is a urologist. In the meanwhile, you may stop the aspirin as it increases the bleeding through the antiplatelet action, preventing the platelets from sticking to one another and blocking the bleeding vessels.
Do get back to me if you have further queries.
