Does Phillips Laxative Dietary Supplement Interact With Coumadin And Prednisone?

I am constipated from consumption of Percoset per dr s orders. I bought some Philips laxative dietary supplement. I take coumadin and prednisone regularly. Is there an interaction risk if I take the Philips? Also, I bought some Ibuprofin to ease back pain caused by a fractured vertebrae. Is there an interaction risk there?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

The ibuprofen is a problem, it is increases the risk of bleeding with the coumadin.
This family of medication (NSAIDs- ibuprofen, cataflam, naproxen) is generally not recommended with coumadin.

The laxative can be used.

I hope this helps
