With the simultaneous use of ASA enhances the effect of the following drugs; if it is necessary to simultaneously prescribe ASA with the listed means, consideration should be given to the need to reduce the dose of these funds:
- methotrexate, by reducing renal clearance and displacing it from the bond with proteins;
- with simultaneous use with anticoagulants, thrombolytic and antiplatelet agents (ticlopidine) there is an increased risk of bleeding as a result of synergism of the main therapeutic effects of the drugs used;
- when used simultaneously with drugs that have anticoagulant, thrombolytic or antiplatelet effect, there is an increase in the damaging effect on the gastrointestinal mucosa;
- selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, which may lead to an increased risk of bleeding from the upper GI tract (synergy with ASA);
- digoxin, due to a decrease in its renal excretion, which can lead to an overdose;
- hypoglycemic agents for oral administration (sulfonylurea derivatives) and insulin due to hypoglycemic properties of ASA itself at high doses and displacement of sulfonylurea derivatives from binding to plasma proteins;
- when used with valproic acid, its toxicity increases due to its displacement from the connection with blood plasma proteins;
- NSAIDs and salicylic acid derivatives in high doses (increased risk of ulcerogenic effect and bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract as a result of synergism of action); when used simultaneously with ibuprofen, antagonism is noted with respect to irreversible platelet suppression caused by the action of ASA, which leads to a decrease in the cardioprotective effects of ASA;
- ethanol (increased risk of damage to the gastrointestinal mucosa and prolongation of bleeding time as a result of the mutual enhancement of the effects of ASA and ethanol).
Simultaneous administration of ASA in high doses may impair the action of the medicines listed below; if it is necessary to simultaneously prescribe ASA with the listed means, consideration should be given to the need to correct the dose of the listed drugs:
- any diuretics (when combined with ASA in high doses, there is a decrease in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) as a result of a decrease in the synthesis of prostaglandins in the kidneys);
- angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors (a dose-dependent decrease in GFR due to inhibition of prostaglandins with vasodilator action, respectively,weakening of hypotensive action. Clinical decline in GFR is observed with a daily dose of ASC greater than 160 mg. In addition, there is a decrease in the positive cardioprotective effect of ACE inhibitors assigned to patients for chronic heart failure therapy. This effect is also manifested when applied in conjunction with ASA in large doses.
- drugs with uricosuric action - benzbromarone, probenecid (reduction of uricosuric effect due to competitive suppression of renal tubular excretion of uric acid);
- when used simultaneously with systemic glucocorticosteroids (with the exception of hydrocortisone used for the replacement therapy of Addison's disease), the salicylate excretion is increased and, accordingly, their effect is weakened.
