What shortens bleeding time?

Does aspirin thin blood quickly?
Aspirin and medicines such as ibuprofen (Motrin IB, Advil, others) and naproxen sodium (Aleve) may thin the blood. This can decrease blood clotting. Regular use of ibuprofen and naproxen sodium can increase bleeding risks. The medicines, as well as aspirin, also can lead to stomach ulcers.
