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:

Using naproxen together with cycloSPORINE can be harmful to the kidneys. Symptoms of kidney damage include swelling, weight gain, feeling short of breath, drowsiness, confusion, mood changes, increased thirst, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, pain in your lower back, and urinating more or less than usual or not at all. If you take both medications together, tell your doctor if you have any of these symptoms. You may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely use these medications together. 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: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may potentiate the nephrotoxic effects of cyclosporine, especially if dehydration is present. The exact mechanism is unknown but is apparently unrelated to plasma cyclosporine levels. The interaction has been reported with diclofenac and sulindac. Data for other NSAIDs are not available, but a similar effect may be expected based on their common pharmacologic action.

MANAGEMENT: Renal function should be closely monitored in patients receiving concomitant therapy with cyclosporine and NSAIDs.
