PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to week 4

Population: Two subjects who completed the study were taking both an anticoagulant medication and aspirin. For this analysis, the subject who was taking warfarin and aspirin was included only in the "Pennsaid, warfarin" group, and the subject who was taking dabigatran and aspirin was included only in the "Pennsaid, dabigatran" group.

PT will be evaluated to determine if there is any significant effect of Pennsaid on coagulation parameters.
