Common types of interaction characteristic of all NSAIDs, including dexketoprofen
Unwanted combinations:
- with other NSAIDs, including salicylates in high doses (≥ 3 g / day): simultaneous use of several NSAIDs increases the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding and ulcers;
- with oral anticoagulants, heparin in doses exceeding the preventive;
- with ticlopidine (increased risk of bleeding due to inhibition of platelet aggregation and lesions of the mucous membrane of the digestive tract);
- with lithium preparations - NSAIDs increase the concentration of lithium in blood plasma (decrease in renal lithium excretion), which can reach toxic levels, so the level of lithium in the blood should be monitored when prescribing, changing the dose or removing dexketoprofen;
- with methotrexate in high (at least 15 mg / week) doses - the toxicity of methotrexate is increased due to a decrease in its renal clearance when using NSAIDs;
- with glucocorticosteroids: increased risk of ulcers and gastrointestinal bleeding;
- derivatives of hydantoin and sulfonamides: the severity of their toxic manifestations may increase.
Combinations that require caution:
- with diuretics, ACE inhibitors, antibacterial drugs from the group of aminoglycosides and angiotensin II receptor antagonists. Dexketoprofen weaken the action of diuretics and other antihypertensive agents. Treatment of NSAIDs is associated with a risk of developing acute renal failure in patients with dehydration (decreased glomerular filtration due to reduced synthesis of prostaglandins). With the combined use of dexketoprofen and diuretics, you should ensure adequate hydration of the patient and control the function of the kidneys before the appointment;
- with methotrexate in low (less than 15 mg / week) doses - the hematological toxicity of methotrexate is increased due to a decrease in its renal clearance with NSAIDs. Weekly monitoring of the blood picture in the first weeks of combined treatment should be performed. In the presence of even minor violations of kidney function, as well as in the elderly, careful monitoring is necessary;
- with pentoxifylline - the risk of bleeding increases. It requires active clinical monitoring and frequent monitoring of bleeding time or clotting time;
- with zidovudine - there may be a toxic effect of zidovudine on reticulocytes, which after the first week of NSAID use may lead to the development of severe anemia. It is necessary to count blood cells and reticulocytes 1-2 weeks after the beginning of the combined treatment;
- with oral hypoglycemic drugs - in view of the possible increase in hypoglycemic effects in connection with the ability of NSAIDs to displace them from the binding sites with plasma proteins.
Combinations that need to be considered:
- with beta-blockers - it is possible to reduce their antihypertensive effect in connection with the inhibition of NSAIDs in the synthesis of prostaglandins;
- with cyclosporine and tacrolimus: it is possible to enhance their nephrotoxicity, due to the effect of NSAIDs on renal prostaglandins. When performing combined therapy, it is necessary to monitor kidney function;
- with thrombolytic drugs - increases the risk of bleeding;
- with probenecid: it is possible to increase the concentration of dexketoprofen in the blood plasma, which may be due to the inhibitory effect on tubular secretion and / or conjugation with glucuronic acid and requires dose adjustmentdexketoprofen;
- with cardiac glycosides - NSAIDs can lead to an increase in their concentration in the blood plasma;
- with mifepristone - in connection with the theoretical risk of changing the effectiveness of mifepristone under the influence of inhibitors of the synthesis of prostaglandins, NSAIDs should be administered 8-12 days after taking mifepristone;
- antibiotics of the quinolone series: a high risk of seizures when using NSAIDs in combination with high doses of quinolones.
