Does acetaminophen thin blood?
I found this: Ibuprofen does not thin the blood like aspirin does. At higher doses of ibuprofen(ie. 800 mg three times a day) there can be a potential for thinning of the blood but it is a "reversible" effect where as aspirin has an "irreversible" effect. If you are only taking over the counter doses once or twice a day there is probably no clinically significant thinning. Aspirin can be taken daily to help protect the heart by preventing blood clots. Ibuprofen does not have the same effects. ---- Fresh evidence adds to suspicions that ibuprofen could be dangerous for most heart patients because it can block the blood-thinning benefits of aspirin. Scientists believe ibuprofen clogs a channel inside a clotting protein that aspirin acts on. Aspirin gets stuck behind the ibuprofen and cannot get to where it is supposed to go to thin the blood.

Can you take Ibuprofen if allergic to aspirin?
In low dosages, yes it is safe. There are restrictions on who can take these drugs and when/with what other medications, but that is a whole different topic altogether. A The combination of a salicylate (aspirin) and ibuprofen (which are both NSAIDs) may increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. It is advised to not take these two medications together at the same time, especially in high doses. If both medications are needed / required; Ibuprofen should be administered 30-120 minutes after, or at least 8 hours before, aspirin. It is also advised to talk to your doctor when combining these two drugs. Also, aspirin and ibuprofen cancel out each others effects and shouldn't be taken together. -Aspirin is taken to prevent heart attacks and strokes. Like ibuprofen it also relieves fever, pain and inflammation. -Ibuprofen is taken to relive pain, fever and inflammation with less effect on platelets According to the Mayo Clinic (related link) taking ibuprofen greatly reduces the benefits of daily aspirin therapy. The best advice is almost always TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR. If the use of both drugs is unavoidable, use aspirin first, then wait for 4 hours before using ibuprofen. Answer: You shouldn't be mixing aspirin with anything, or mixing ibuprofin with anything. Aspirin has been known to cause Reys Syndrome in children under 19. Follow the dosages on the box with the aspirin or the ibuprofin. I don't recommend taking both together, unless specifically told so by a doctor. Ibuprofin can cause stomach bleeding in large doses, so choose wisely. Use of aspirin with other pain relievers (such as Tylenol, ibuprofen, naproxen sodium, ketoprofen or prescription pain relievers) is not recommended, unless directed by your doctor.
Stop the buzzing in the ear?
The most common causes of buzzing in the ear (tinnitus) are Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDS) such as aspirin, acetaminophen (Tylenol) and ibuprofen (Advil). If you are taking any of those more often than once every day or so, they are probably the cause. Aspirin and ibuprofen are also hard on the stomach when taken too often. If you have chronic pain, you should see a doctor about possible alternative solutions.

Does Motrin contain aspirin?
I'm not sure, but i think not b/c Motrin and aspirin are not to be taken simultaneously one reason for this is Motrin makes aspirin less effective No. Motrin does not contain aspirin. Motrin contains the active ingredient ibuprofen.

I as told by my local clinic that I could not take aspirin with warfrin, however when I posed the same question to the docs at Mayo they told me I could take one Zorprin a day with the warfrin. Zorprin is an aspirin that is prescription and does not react with stomach acids. So take your pick. I need the aspirin for inflamation.
If you take aspirin as a blood thinner and then take it for pain do you overdose?
The amount of aspirin usually "about half an aspirin", taken to serve as a blood thinning agent is very small compared to that used for the treatment of pain, so the difference it would make should be negligible, However you can allow for it by taking the amount taken for the blood thinning from the dose for the pain. In any case you don't have anything to worry about.

Can take aspirin and naproxen different times in same day?
Yes and No. . . The "Yes" part: They are both Non-Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs (NSAID), but the 81 mg aspirin ("low dose") is typically given to help prevent heart attack and/or stroke. Because 81mg is significantly below the recommended dose for pain relief from aspirin, you can take ibuprofen the same day. However, you want to be careful not to take ibuprofen too often and not to take it in larger than recommended doses. It can cause gastrointestinal problems (stomach ulcers, etc.) and occasionally can cause some liver problems if taken repeatedly and at high doses. The "No" part: If a person is taking 81mg aspirin to prevent heart attacks, etc., ibuprofen could potentially lessen the anti-clotting effect of aspirin. It is wise not to take ibuprofen with aspirin if the aspirin is being taken for an anti-coagulation purpose. Conclusion: You can take ibuprofen with 81mg aspirin, but do not do it often or for an extended amount of time. *Note: If you took a pain-relief dose of aspirin, such as 325 mg, you would not want to take ibuprofen unless directed to by your practitioner. ALSO: Make sure to verify with your doctor it is alright to take ibuprofen if you are on other medications. If a person is taking other medications that significantly affect the liver/kidneys or gastrointestinal tract, ibuprofen may not be recommended.
