No, they do say that taking high doses on a regular basis makes you 3 times more likely to have gastrointestinal bleeding though.
Not exactly... It is a blood thinner and there for a small wound will produce more bleeding.

∙ 13y ago"No. ibuprofen Motrin and the like are anti inflammatories with some blood thinning qualities but not as much as Aspirin. They should not be used to try to control bleeding."
Actually the answer can be yes. Depends on the type of bleeding you were referring to. Some drs. prescribe high doses of Ibuprofen to lessen and/or stop periods that heavier or longer than normal. My doctor did this after I consulted her due to a period that would not stop. After tests showed that I had no underlying problem, she prescribed 800 mg twice daily to lessen the flow, and it stopped my period, which had not stopped for weeks. She said that Ibuprofen interacts with an enzyme in the uterus. All I know is that it has saved me from a never-ending period without me having to go on Birth Control, which I cannot take because it raises my blood pressure. Plus, I'm 41 and BCP's at this age aren't recommended. I'm not saying anyone should OD on Ibuprofen or anything to mess with their hormones! It can, however, impact your cycle. At least in some people.

∙ 13y ago"Actually ibuprofen causes your blood to become thinner which, in turn, would cause you to bleed more. "
The above answer is incorrect! Aspirin and Ibuprofen are both NSAID (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), but aspirin is the only kind that inhibits the clotting of blood. Aspirin thins your blood, while Ibuprofen does the opposite. Some gynecologist recommend that women try ibuprofen therapy to lessen the bleeding during their menstrual periods.But always check with your doctor before doing this!
