Detailed explanation-1: -NSAIDs affect the way platelets work and could interfere with normal blood clotting. “That could raise the risk of bleeding, especially in the digestive tract. Taking them together with blood thinners raises the bleeding risk even more, ‘’ says Dr. Bhatt.
Detailed explanation-2: -When combined with blood-thinning medicines (such as warfarin) NSAIDs increase the risk of bleeding. NSAIDs can cause kidney failure when they are combined with ACE inhibitors (medicines used to treat heart problems and high blood pressure) and diuretics (medicines to remove excess fluid).
Detailed explanation-3: -The use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) with oral anticoagulants has been associated with an increased risk of bleeding.
Detailed explanation-4: -Coadministration of heparin with warfarin, acetylsalicylic acid, clopidogrel, ketorolac, and NSAIDs was associated with the increased risk of adverse drug reactions.
