muscle rubs and coumadin?

[gadoty1]

My knees have been bothering me this week and I wondered if rubbing a little Bengay on them would affect my INR. I doubt it because I am not using tons of it and don't plan on using it all the time. The main ingredient is methyl silicate which I think is aspirin. I know aspirin won't acceft my INR but could cause bleeding if a lot is used. Like I said not planning on using a lot.
Just wondered if anyone had any problems with this.

Many years ago, because of the asparin, I was advised not to use BenGay. Since Asparin is now often used with Warfarin, it may be OK to use products like BenGay. Pass it by your Doc.

I use it a lot and no, no affect on INR.
