Before using any NSAIDs I’d first check with your doctor
Are NSAIDs Blood Thinners?
NSAIDs are not classified as blood thinners. However, they can affect the blood clotting process. Here’s how:
Interference with Clotting: NSAIDs can slow down the formation of blood clots, which may increase the risk of bleeding.
Increased Bleeding Risk: When taken alongside prescription blood thinners (like warfarin or direct oral anticoagulants), the risk of bleeding is significantly heightened.

Not all NSAIDs are blood thinners and my doctors let me know what is safe - as far as they “know”. The lists of drugs that I have been prescribed, but are counter-indicated for conditions that I have, are long and scary.
