Anticoagulants, Oral:

PRECIPITANT DRUGS

NSAIDs:


Comment:

All NSAIDs reversibly inhibit platelet function and cause gastric erosions. The risk of GI bleeding appears to be considerably increased with NSAIDs plus warfarin compared to either drug used alone. Some NSAIDs can increase the hypoprothrombinemic response to oral anticoagulants.


Class 2: Use Only if Benefit Felt to Outweigh Risk
