Autoimmune diseases usually do not usually have a simple, single cause. There are usually two major factors that are involved in causing them: genetics and environment. Genetics - Even with a genetic connection to autoimmune disease, there is no guarantee that you will develop an autoimmune disease. Something must turn on your immune system to trigger an autoimmune response. Environment - Environmental factors make up more than half the risk of developing an autoimmune disease.
A: Advil (ibuprofen) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Advil can be used for pain and inflammation. Motrin (ibuprofen) is the same medication as Advil; they are both ibuprofen. They are just made by different companies.
Best Answer: Ibuprofen can interfere with platelets and thus can reduce the clotting ability of the blood. However, this is a relatively weak effect compared to agents that purposefully thin the blood.Blood thinner is a poor term for agents that reduce clotting ability via action on serum clotting proteins (heparin, coumadin, etc.) or on platelets (e.g. aspirin).In reality, there is no effect on blood thinness/thickness (which would be actually described as viscosity).eport Abuse. It's not aspirin, but it's related to aspirin. It's not a blood thinner, but, like aspirin, it has a side effect, as noted above of inhibiting blood clotting a bit. This is why you'd be asked not to take it for several days before a surgery.
