A member asked:

Does ibuprofen cause bruising? i have been taking it more than usual and noticing some random, small, bruises on my legs and arms.

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Anthony LaBarbera answered

Possible: Ibuprofen interferes with platelet functioning, so it may lead to more bruising.

Dr Enriquez and another doctor agreed
