Should I take tylnol, Advil, Alive or Asprin for body akes? ## Hello, LT! How are you? If you are taking it to lower your blood pressure, then it's very likely that you need to refrain from taking the NSAIDs, such as Advil, Aleve or Aspirin, because they can actually cause blood pressure elevation.

I take high BP medicine and also acid reflux medicine and low dose asprin everyday. My doctor presribed 7.5MG of Meloxicam for arthritis. I have had several mini-strokes that affects my speech and I also break out when I take aleve, is this safe to take? ## Hello, Sheryl! How are you doing? I am very sorry about your various health issues. Was it prescribed by your PCP? If so, I'd suggest not taking it, until you check with whatever other doctor you see for your strokes.

It would be best to be cautious.

Are these meds considered blood thinners for surgery: ferrous sulfate 325 mg EC, glipizide 5 methocarbamol 500 mg, metformin 1000 mg ## No, none of the medications you listed are considered blood thinners. NSAIDS, such as Aleve, ASPRIN, ibuprofen, and prescribed NSAIDS are considered meds that can thin the blood as well as your typical blood thinners...... Coumadin, heparin, etc.
