Salicylates in anti-inflammatory dosages may blunt the diuretic and natriuretic response to loop diuretics. The interaction has been demonstrated in patients with ascites secondary to liver cirrhosis and in normal volunteers. Investigators theorize that salicylates may inhibit the renal effects of loop diuretics that are mediated by prostaglandins, including increases in sodium excretion, renal blood flow, and plasma renin activity. Since renal prostaglandins are believed to play a major role in the maintenance of renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate in cirrhotics with ascites, the interaction may be particularly important in this population. No clinical interventions are generally required, but the possibility of a potential interaction should be considered in patients with ascites treated with a loop diuretic and salicylate or salicylate-related product.

Drug and food interactions
aspirin food
Applies to: Arthritis Foundation Pain Reliever (aspirin)
GENERALLY AVOID: The concurrent use of aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and ethanol may lead to gastrointestinal (GI) blood loss. The mechanism may be due to a combined local effect as well as inhibition of prostaglandins leading to decreased integrity of the GI lining.
MANAGEMENT: Patients should be counseled on this potential interaction and advised to refrain from alcohol consumption while taking aspirin or NSAIDs.

bumetanide food
Applies to: bumetanide
MONITOR: Many psychotherapeutic and CNS-active agents (e.g., anxiolytics, sedatives, hypnotics, antidepressants, antipsychotics, opioids, alcohol, muscle relaxants) exhibit hypotensive effects, especially during initiation of therapy and dose escalation. Coadministration with antihypertensives and other hypotensive agents, in particular vasodilators and alpha-blockers, may result in additive effects on blood pressure and orthostasis.
MANAGEMENT: Caution and close monitoring for development of hypotension is advised during coadministration of these agents. Some authorities recommend avoiding alcohol in patients receiving vasodilating antihypertensive drugs. Patients should be advised to avoid rising abruptly from a sitting or recumbent position and to notify their physician if they experience dizziness, lightheadedness, syncope, orthostasis, or tachycardia.

One study has reported that coadministration of caffeine and aspirin lead to a 25% increase in the rate of appearance and 17% increase in maximum concentration of salicylate in the plasma. A significantly higher area under the plasma concentration time curve of salicylate was also reported when both drugs were administered together. The exact mechanism of this interaction has not been specified. Physicians and patients should be aware that coadministration of aspirin and caffeine may lead to higher salicylate levels faster.
