How does ibuprofen interact with aspirin and what are the implications for patients taking both medications for pain or cardiovascular protection?
Ibuprofen can reduce the antiplatelet effect of aspirin, potentially diminishing aspirin’s heart-protective benefits. Patients using both should manage timing, taking ibuprofen 30 min after or 8 hours before aspirin.
