Consumer:Consumer information for this minor interaction is not currently available. Some minor drug interactions may not be clinically relevant in all patients. Minor drug interactions do not usually cause harm or require a change in therapy. However, your healthcare provider can determine if adjustments to your medications are needed.
Professional:A single case report suggests that the combination of cyclophosphamide and indomethacin may cause serious hyponatremia. It is well known that cyclophosphamide alone can cause hyponatremia by causing a renal tubular concentrating defect, as well as a syndrome that resembles the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH). Indomethacin may contribute to acute water intoxication by inhibiting synthesis of prostaglandins (which are important in maintaining water and electrolyte homeostasis and renal blood flow). However, it is not known whether indomethacin or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) potentiate any side effects from cyclophosphamide. More data are needed.
