Drug Interaction Report

If you are currently taking edoxaban, you should talk to a healthcare professional before using methyl salicylate topical or similar products. Some of the medication in methyl salicylate topical may be absorbed into the bloodstream following application to the skin. This can result in side effects such as bleeding, particularly if you are also treated with blood-thinning medications. Absorption of methyl salicylate topical may be increased with frequent applications; use of large quantities or over large areas of skin; use of ointment-based formulations; and use of covered dressings or heating pads over application areas. You should use methyl salicylate topical exactly as instructed in the product labeling or by your healthcare provider, and seek immediate medical attention if you experience any unusual bleeding or bruising, or have other signs and symptoms of bleeding such as dizziness; lightheadedness; red or black, tarry stools; coughing up or vomiting fresh or dried blood that looks like coffee grounds; severe headache; and weakness. 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.
