Interaction caused by acetylsalicylic acid:
- increases the toxicity of methotrexate, reducing its renal clearance, valproic acid;
- It enhances the effects of other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, narcotic analgesics, oral hypoglycemic drugs, heparin, anticoagulants, thrombolytics, and antiplatelet drugs, sulfonamides (including co-trimoxazole), triiodothyronine;
- reduces the effect of uricosuric medicines (benzbromarone, sulfinpyrazone), antihypertensive drugs, diuretics (spironolactone, furosemide);
- glucocorticosteroids, ethanol and ethanol-containing drugs increase the damaging effect on the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract, increase the risk of developing gastrointestinal bleeding;
- increases the concentration of digoxin, barbiturates, lithium salts in plasma.
- antacids containing magnesium and / or aluminum slow down and worsen the absorption of acetylsalicylic acid.
- Myelotoxic drugs increase the manifestation of hematotoxicity of the drug.
Interaction due to paracetamol:
- reduces the effectiveness of uricosuric medicines;
- concomitant use of paracetamol in high doses increases the effect of anticoagulant drugs (decreased synthesis of procoagulant factors in the liver);
- inducers of microsomal oxidation in the liver (phenytoin, barbiturates, rifampicin, phenylbutazone, tricyclic antidepressants), ethanol and hepatotoxic drugs increase the production of hydroxylated active metabolites, which makes it possible to develop severe intoxication even with a slight overdose;
- long-term use of barbiturates reduces the effectiveness of paracetamol;
- Ethanol promotes the development of acute pancreatitis;
- inhibitors of microsomal oxidation (including cimetidine) reduce the risk of hepatotoxic action;
- prolonged sharing of paracetamol and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs increases the risk of developing "analgesic" nephropathy and renal papillary necrosis, the onset of the terminal stage of renal failure;
- simultaneous long-term administration of paracetamol in high doses and salicylates increases the risk of developing kidney or bladder cancer;
- diflunisal increases the plasma concentration of paracetamol by 50% - the risk of hepatotoxicity;
- Myelotoxic drugs increase the manifestation of hematotoxicity of the drug.
Interaction with caffeine:
- caffeine is an adenosine antagonist (large doses of adenosine may be required);
- with the joint use of caffeine and barbiturates, primidone, anticonvulsant drugs (hydantoin derivatives, especially phenytoin) it is possible to increase metabolism and increase caffeine clearance; cimetidine, oral contraceptive drugs, disulfiram, ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin - a decrease in the metabolism of caffeine in the liver (slowing its elimination and increasing blood concentrations);
- caffeine-containing drinks and other medicines that stimulate the central nervous system - excessive stimulation of the central nervous system is possible;
- mexiletine - reduces the excretion of caffeine to 50%;
- nicotine - increases the rate of caffeine withdrawal;
- monoamine oxidase inhibitors, furazolidone, procarbazine and selegiline - large doses of caffeine can cause the development of dangerous cardiac arrhythmias or a marked increase in blood pressure;
- caffeine reduces the absorption of calcium in the gastrointestinal tract;
- reduces the effect of narcotic and hypnotic drugs;
- increases the excretion of lithium drugs with urine;
- accelerates absorption and enhances the action of cardiac glycosides, increases their toxicity;
- the joint use of caffeine with beta-blockers can lead to mutual suppression of therapeutic effects; with adrenergic bronchodilator drugs - to additional stimulation of the central nervous system and other additive toxic effects;
- caffeine can reduce the clearance of theophylline and possibly other xanthines, increasing the possibility of additive pharmacodynamic and toxic effects.
