Interactions between your drugs

Minor

salsalate hyaluronidase

Applies to: salsalate and Opdivo Qvantig (hyaluronidase / nivolumab)

Larger amounts of hyaluronidase may be required to achieve equivalent dispersing effects if patients are concomitantly receiving large doses of salicylates, cortisone, ACTH, estrogens, or antihistamines. These drugs may render tissues partially resistant to the dispersing action of hyaluronidase.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

salsalate food

Applies to: salsalate

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.
