NSAIDs cause decreased ability to form blood clots, which can increase the risk of bleeding when combined with other drugs that also decrease blood clotting, such as warfarin. [113] NSAIDs may aggravate hypertension (high blood pressure) and thereby antagonize the effect of antihypertensives, [113] such as ACE inhibitors. [114]
Antihypertensive drugs and hypertensive drugs affect blood pressure in an opposite way. [19] The most common hypertensive drugs in the UK are NSAIDs and steroids. [19] NSAIDs inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandin, which increases the blood pressure and potentially reduce the efficacy of several antihypertensive drugs. [20]

High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, can result from an unhealthy lifestyle or certain health conditions, such as diabetes or obesity. The condition can also occur during pregnancy ...
Long-term use of NSAIDs can cause gastric erosions, which can become stomach ulcers and in extreme cases can cause severe haemorrhage, resulting in death. The risk of death as a result of GI bleeding caused by the use of NSAIDs is 1 in 12,000 for adults aged 16–45. [5] The risk increases almost twentyfold for those over 75. [5]
