Alimta and Aspirin, Salicylamide, and Caffeine
Determining the interaction of Alimta and Aspirin, Salicylamide, and Caffeine and the possibility of their joint administration.
In the database of official manuals used in the service creation an interaction registered by statistical results of studies was found, which can either lead to negative consequences for the patient health or strengthen a mutual positive effect. A doctor should be consulted to address the issue of joint drug administration.
Consumer:Talk to your doctor before using aspirin together with salicylamide. Combining these medications may increase your risk of developing gastrointestinal ulcers and bleeding. You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications. Contact your doctor immediately if you develop severe abdominal pain, bloating, sudden dizziness or lightheadedness, nausea, vomiting (especially with blood), loss of appetite, and/or black, tarry stools. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
Professional:MONITOR: The combined use of low-dose or high-dose aspirin with other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may increase the potential for serious gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity, including inflammation, bleeding, ulceration, and perforation. Aspirin at anti-inflammatory dosages or higher may also decrease the plasma concentrations of many NSAIDs. The decreases have ranged from none or small (piroxicam, meloxicam, naproxen, tolmetin) to substantial (flurbiprofen, ibuprofen). However, the therapeutic response does not appear to be affected. Investigators theorize that aspirin may displace NSAIDs from plasma protein binding sites, resulting in increased concentration of unbound, or free, drug available for clearance. The increase in NSAID free fraction, and possibly some contributory anti-inflammatory effect from aspirin, may account for the lack of overall effect on therapeutic response.
MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if aspirin, particularly at anti-inflammatory dosages, is used with other NSAIDs. Concomitant administration of NSAIDs is considered contraindicated or not recommended with aspirin at analgesic/anti-inflammatory dosages by many NSAID manufacturers. During concomitant therapy, patients should be advised to take the medications with food and to immediately report signs and symptoms of GI ulceration and bleeding such as abdominal pain, bloating, sudden dizziness or lightheadedness, nausea, vomiting, hematemesis, anorexia, and melena.
