NSAIDs reduce kidney blood flow and thereby decrease the efficacy of diuretics, and inhibit the elimination of lithium and methotrexate. [113] 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]
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]
Owing to its antiplatelet properties, use of oral aspirin and lysine acetylsalicylate will increase the risk of bleeding. As such, patients with hemophilia or other bleeding tendencies should not use oral aspirin nor lysine acetylsalicylate. [34] The risk of bleeding is increased for those using warfarin and alcohol. [34]
One of the most common causes of increased bleeding risk is exposure to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). The prototype for these drugs is aspirin, which inhibits the production of thromboxane. NSAIDs (for example Ibuprofen) inhibit the activation of platelets, and thereby increase the risk of bleeding. The effect of aspirin is ...
As with other NSAIDs, potential side effects include gastrointestinal bleeding. [10] Long-term use has been associated with kidney failure, and rarely liver failure, and it can exacerbate the condition of patients with heart failure. [8] At low doses, it does not appear to increase the risk of heart attack; however, at higher doses it may. [10]
NSAIDs, naproxen and aspirin. Blood thinners and anticoagulants, like warfarin, due to risk of abnormal bleeding. Triptans and medications used to treat migraines like sumatriptan. Water pills ...
Sertraline is one of several SSRIs that may increase the risk of bleeding, according to an article published in the journal Pharmacological Research. ... (MAOIs), nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory ...
NSAIDs cause an increase in the risk of serious gastrointestinal adverse events including bleeding, ulceration, and perforation of the stomach or intestines, which can be fatal. Elderly patients are at greater risk for serious gastrointestinal events. [28]
