Who told you that?: NSAIDS interfere (less than aspirin) with platelet function but aren't expected to lower the number. They may do this but it's an idiosyncratic antibody-mediated reaction. Perhaps I misunderstood your question -- please forgive me. Here's a review: http://www.archivesofpathology.org/doi/pdf/10.1043/1543-2165-133.2.309
