Both Plavix and: Aspirin have anti-platlet activity which increases your risk of bleeding. The anti-inflamatories all have additional anti-platlet activity. The risk is small that a transient use would significantly affect you but the risk is not zero. As an adult you have to make an informed choice about whether the small additional risk is worth the benefit.
