Can Meloxicam And Celebrex Be Taken While On Coumadin?

My husband takes coumadin because he has an artificial mitral valve. He now has arthritis quite badly in his wrists. Can he take an anti-inflamatory such as maloxicam, diclofenac, celebrex? I take diclofenac for arthritis in my knees. It helps. I had a total knee replacement in the right knee and will have the other one done in January. Meanwhile, I am taking diclofenac to keep me functioning. These I believe are blood thinners so I think maybe he cannot take these. What do you say? Thank you. Karyl YYYY@YYYY
