Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

aspirin anacaulase topical

Applies to: Ascriptin Maximum Strength (aspirin) and anacaulase topical

MONITOR: Concomitant use of anacaulase with anticoagulants or other drugs affecting coagulation may increase the risk of bleeding. According to the manufacturer, in vitro and animal data suggest that bromelain, a component of anacaulase-bcdb, can promote fibrinolysis. Reduced platelet aggregation and plasma fibrinogen levels and moderately increased partial thromboplastin and prothrombin times have also been reported following oral bromelain administration.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if anacaulase is used in patients on anticoagulant therapy or other drugs affecting coagulation. Clinical and laboratory monitoring for coagulation abnormalities and bleeding is recommended.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

aspirin food

Applies to: Ascriptin Maximum Strength (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.

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.

Major Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.
Moderate Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances.
Minor Minimally clinically significant. Minimize risk; assess risk and consider an alternative drug, take steps to circumvent the interaction risk and/or institute a monitoring plan.
Unknown No interaction information available.
