A large observational study of more than 3 million women using hormonal contraceptives in four European countries found that the higher risk of venous thromboembolism seen when these women also take nonsteroidal anti‑inflammatory drugs is probably linked to the underlying health condition prompting the painkiller use, rather than the NSAIDs themselves. The research, published in The Lancet Obstetrics, Gynaecology, & Women’s Health, suggests that the disease being treated may be the main driver of clot risk.
