Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Can The Joint Pain Medicines, Aleve And MegaRed, Lead To Nose Bleeds?
Yes I have been taking Aleve for joint pain and it was very effective but recently I have been getting nose bleeds. I am thinking this has to do with the Aleve so I have stopped taking it. Does MegaRed joint care have anything in it that will also cause my nose to bleed?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Yes, it can be related to NSAIDs which you are taking . Aleve is NSAID and these medications prevent platelets (which are required to stop bleed ) to work at their full capacity .
So ,it must be related.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
