Of the 260 patients who did not take concomitant low-dose aspirin, 6 in the celecoxib group and 7 in the diclofenac-plus-omeprazole group had recurrent ulcer bleeding. Drug class or drug name: Drug examples: Interaction result with Celebrex: nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) • aspirin • ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) • diclofenac (Voltaren, Zorvolex You are correct that anti-inflammatory drugs generally cannot be taken with Eliquis. This includes the commonly used class of anti-inflammatory drugs, the NSAIDs, many of which are available over the counter. Over the counter NSAIDs include: Taking an NSAID with Eliquis, an anticoagulant (i.e. 'blood thinner') increases the risk of bleeding. Applies to: ibuprofen and Plavix (clopidogrel) Before using ibuprofen, tell your doctor if you also use clopidogrel. This combination may cause unusual bleeding, severe abdominal pain, weakness, and the appearance of black, tarry stools. If you take both medications together, tell your doctor if you have any of these symptoms. Addition of 60 mg codeine increased the degree of side effects. These results support the clinical practice of combining diclofenac with acetaminophen for acute pain. Of clinical importance are superior and prolonged analgesia and fewer side effects after enteric-coated diclofenac tablets plus acetaminophen compared with acetaminophen plus codeine. I have advice, if not an actual answer, based on my experience. I have been taking high doses of NSAID (naproxen followed by Diclofenac) for the last 8 years for osteoarthritis.
