Summary
Ascorbic acid may acidify urine and modestly reduce renal excretion of salicylate, while salicylates can increase urinary loss of ascorbic acid. The net effect is usually small, but salicylate levels could rise slightly with high vitamin C doses.
What this interaction means in plain words
Choline magnesium trisalicylate and Vitamin c have a small, usually unimportant interaction. Most people can take both; the pharmacist may still mention it so that any unexpected effect is recognised.
Why it happens
Urinary acidification increases tubular reabsorption of salicylate, and salicylates may compete with or alter renal handling of ascorbic acid.
What to do
No routine adjustment is needed; watch for salicylate toxicity signs such as tinnitus if large vitamin C doses are started or stopped in patients on high-dose salicylate.
