Do Naproxen or Ibuprofen have any antiplatelet properties?

Best Answers

Since platelets do not have a protein synthetising apparatus (or a nucleus, for that matter), they have no means of replacing the blocked enzymes. Other NSAIDs do not block COX irreversibly, so they only have limited anti-coagulant properties (,in fact, many of them antagonize the antiplatelet effects of aspirin). read more

Ibuprofen and Naproxen are two medications that are in the same therapeutic class (NSAIDs). This means that they work in the same way and have the same effect. So if you take Ibuprofen and Naproxen together you are essentially doubling your dose of pain-killers, and can easily go over the daily recommended limit (1200mg a day). read more

Do not use ibuprofen just before or after heart bypass surgery (coronary artery bypass graft, or CABG). Get emergency medical help if you have chest pain, weakness, shortness of breath, slurred speech, or problems with vision or balance. Aspirin and Ibuprofen are completely different. read more
