Aleve is much more likely to affect your platelets than your INR. That's why it's possible to have an ok INR but still have bleeding if you're on a med (like Aleve) which affects the platelet part of the coag scheme rather than the proteins affected by Coumadin.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 Loretta: you may want to look at this website: Nonsteroidal Anti- Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs): In healthy volunteers receiving naproxen, concomitant administration of PLAVIX was associated with increased occult gastrointestinal blood loss. NSAIDs and PLAVIX should be coadministered with caution. http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/clopidog_ad.htm Debbi OU Alum in OKC ****************************************************************** > My husband is on Plavix and 81 mg.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 > My husband is on Plavix and 81 mg. Ecotrin. He pulled a ligament in his back and went to a sports medicine doctor who told him to take two Aleve in the morning and two Aleve in the evening. I felt this would cause excessive blood thinning which my pharmacist confirmed. Any opinions on this? > > Loretta > ................................. I'm also take Ecotrin but 325mg's plus Plavix and also Coumadin. I've been taking a few Aleve's for daily headaches I've been getting lately and my last two INR's were low.....1.7 and 1.9. They've increased the Coumadin and I'm having it checked this week again. Taking the Aleve doesn't seem to have effected my INR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
