Can I Keep Talking One Aspirin Prescripe By My Doctor Every Day Went Am Also Ibuprofen For Artritis (Top voted first)

Updated

I take one aspirin every day as a blood thinner (I'm 64 years old) About a couple of weeks another doctor precribe to me Ibuprofen for my Artritis. Is Ibuprofen a blood thinner as well? Should I keep taking my aspirin every day?

Thanks,

Carmen

Hi Carmen,

To answer your question, Ibuprofen also has a mild blood thinning effect that lasts a few hours. Possibly not a potent as aspirin's blood thinning effect, but viable enough to function independently of aspirin for that purpose.

If you intend on only taking Ibuprofen, you can also depend certain foods to aid its blood thinning effects:

I hope this helps!

One aspirin a day will not harm you regardless of your ibuprofen intake. It may well save your life, however.
