Drug interactions:

Acetylsalicylic acid

Ethyl alcohol, cimetidine and ranitidine while the use of acetylsalicylic acid increased its toxicity.

Heparin and indirect anticoagulants. At simultaneous application with acetylsalicylic acid increases the risk of bleeding by inhibition of platelet function, displace anticoagulants from binding to blood plasma proteins and gipoprotrombinemii.

Corticosteroids increase the risk of secondary damage to the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract.

Combined with zidovudine increase the toxic effects of zidovudine and aspirin.

Acetylsalicylic acid reduces the absorption of NSAIDs (indomethacin, fenoprofen, naproxen, flurbiprofen, ibuprofen, diclofenac, piroxicam).

Increases the concentration of phenytoin because of its displacement from protein binding.

Enhances hypoglycemic effect of antidiabetic drugs and insulin due to the fact that acetylsalicylic acid in high doses has hypoglycemic properties and displace sulfonylureas from binding with blood plasma proteins.

Enhances the ototoxic effect of vancomycin.

Enhances the action of methotrexate by reducing renal clearance and ousting him from the protein binding.

Salicylates reduce the uricosuric effect of probenecid and sulfinpirazon due to the competitive tubular elimination of uric acid.

Phenylephrine

MAO inhibitors (antidepressants — tranylcypromine, moclobemide antiparkinsonian drugs selegiline). While the use of fenilafrinom may develop severe side effects such as intense headache, increase in blood pressure and body temperature.

Beta-blockers. While the use of fenilafrinom may increase blood pressure (hypertension) and severe bradycardia.

The sympathomimetics. While the use of fenilafrinom the influence of sympathomimetics on the Central nervous system and cardiovascular system. Possible excitation, irritability, insomnia.

Reduces the hypotensive effect of these antihypertensive drugs from the group of simpatolitikov as reserpine, guanetidina.

Chlorpheniramine

Alcohol, sleeping pills, tranquilizers, antipsychotic drugs (neuroleptics), analgesics of Central action. Chlorpheniramine may enhance their inhibitory effect on the Central nervous system.

This should be considered if necessary, surgical interventions, including small intervention like removing teeth. Before surgery to minimize bleeding during the operation and postoperative period should stop taking the drug for 5-7 days and notify the physician.
