What "Minor — monitor" Means
Generally safe. May require a hold on dosing day or post-treatment monitoring depending on individual response.
Clinical Action
What our medical team does for patients on Naproxen.
Prefer to avoid around the fast and the acute phase, especially with any anticoagulant.
Where the Washout Happens
Continues — any change is the prescribing physician's decision, made before arrival
This medication is not stopped on our initiative and there is no washout interval we can set: what governs it is a clinical judgement that belongs to the prescribing physician, not a waiting period we can count. It is documented, flagged to the medical team, and the plan is confirmed with the prescriber BEFORE any invasive procedure or IV placement. Stopping an anticoagulant or antiplatelet without that conversation carries its own risk, which is why the default here is to continue and confirm rather than to hold.
Post-Treatment Restart
Restart at physician discretion once acute window closes.
