Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can increase the risk of bleeding when taken with anticoagulants, so patients taking anticoagulants should avoid NSAIDs unless directed by their healthcare provider. Vitamin C, thiazide diuretics, and proton pump inhibitors are not known to have significant interactions with anticoagulants.
