If medications are present in a blood transfusion, they may react badly with any medications that the receiving patient is taking and worsen their condition; the patient may even be allergic or otherwise unable to have those drugs. Indirectly, the fact that you are taking medications means you may have an illness that could also be passed on to the receiver.

Probably not a good idea, because alot of things can change the way your blood is. Some things thin your blood, some thicken your blood. Mostly, when you are going to donate blood, you getta paper, it tells you what not to do.

MOST medications are perfectly fine to take before donating blood. The majority of the time it is NOT the medication that is the risk, it's the REASON you are taking it. Please check with your local blood bank to see what the requirements are.
