A member asked:

All nsaids, with the exception of celebrex, (celecoxib) block the heart benefits of aspirin! what does that means ?!

5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

See details: It means that Celebrex (celecoxib) does not interfere with the antiplatelet effects of Aspirin and Aspirin will continue to have its blood thinning properties left intact.
