A doctor should be consulted to address the issue of joint drug administration.

Consumer:

Talk to your doctor before using methotrexate and aspirin. This combination may increase the effects of methotrexate in your body. This combination may cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, sore throat, chills, fever, rash, unusual bruising or bleeding, pale skin, dark urine, swelling of the extremities, or shortness of breath. If you take both medications together, tell your doctor if you have any of these symptoms. You may need a dose adjustment or special test if you take both medications. 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:

GENERALLY AVOID: Salicylates may interfere with the renal elimination of methotrexate and may displace it from binding sites. The pharmacologic effect and toxicity of methotrexate may be increased. Patients receiving high-dose methotrexate are at a greater risk of developing toxicity.

MANAGEMENT: If these agents must be used concomitantly, caution should be exercised and the patient should be monitored closely for signs and symptoms of bone marrow suppression and nephrotoxicity. Patients should be advised to report possible symptoms of toxicity including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomatitis, sore throat, chills, fever, rash, unusual bruising or bleeding, jaundice, dark urine, swelling of the extremities, or shortness of breath to their physician. Patients should also be counseled to avoid any other over-the-counter salicylate products.
