IBUPROFEN INTERACTION WITH WARFARIN
Ibuprofen can cause gastrointestinal bleeding. If this should occur and you are taking warfarin, a minor bleed could turn out to be a major bleed.
There are three factors that contribute to this:
- Physicians are careless in their prescribing of ibuprofen.
- Patients are careless when they purchase ibuprofen as a non-prescription item.
- There is no warning that this is about to happen because the INR is not raised.
If at all possible, ibuprofen use should be avoided when you are taking warfarin.
