CLOPIDOGREL AND NSAIDS
The risk of faecal blood loss, gastrointestinal haemorrhage and other bleeding is increased by concurrent use of clopidogrel with naproxen and celecoxib.
The manufacturers advise caution if NSAIDs and clopidogrel are given together. Consider giving additional gastrointestinal prophylaxis such as a proton pump inhibitor in patients at risk of gastrointestinal ulceration and bleeding.
