Warfarin:
The concurrent use of NSAIDs and warfarin has been associated with severe, sometimes fatal, haemorrhage. The exact mechanism of the interaction between NSAIDs and warfarin is unknown, but may involve enhanced bleeding from NSAID-induced gastrointestinal ulceration, or an additive effect of anticoagulation by warfarin and inhibition of platelet function by NSAIDs. TORADOL should be used in combination with warfarin only if absolutely necessary, and patients taking this combination of medicines should be closely monitored. refl.in/o6
