FYI for all those who use aspirin as an anticoagulant.

LONDON, England (AP) -- Fresh evidence adds to suspicions that ibuprofen could be dangerous for most heart patients because it can block the blood-thinning benefits of aspirin.

Aspirin = my anticoagulant, Motrin = one of my favourite "recreational" drugs...now I'm planning to cut down on the latter. ;)
