Maybe: Both increase the chance of blood clots. Would not recommend over the counter medications known to exacerbate an existing risk (genetic predisposition for clotting in this case). The overall benefit of treatment may outweigh risk, but a physician that can assess the complete medical picture should help with the decision.
