A member asked:
Why we no use indomethacine as antiplatelet bec. it nsaid as aspirin?

Temporary v perm.: Nsaids (ibuprofen, indomethacin, naprosyn, (naproxen) etc.) temporarily block the activity of platelets while in the body, so effect comes & goes. Aspirin blocks the function of the platelet for the life of the platelet--several days per dose of aspirin, so is more effective.

Yes: All non steroidal anti-inflammatory agents can interfere with platelet function.
