how does ibuprofen increase stroke risk if it thins the blood?
In: Biology
Because many people at risk of stroke take aspirin, which effectively reduces their risk by inhibiting the aggregation behavior of platelets in the blood that causes strokes and similar conditions. Ibuprofen directly counteracts that effect, which can be dangerous to at-risk individuals who take both aspirin and ibuprofen (or any other NSAID)
