Question: is it safe to take ibuprofen while on blood thinners?
Answer: A. In general, you should avoid ibuprofen—which is sold as Advil, Motrin, and generics—while taking warfarin, because taking them together may further increase your risk of bleeding. Ibuprofen and naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn, generics) belong to the class of drugs known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs.
