Summary
Rose hips are rich in vitamin C, which is acidic and may theoretically compete for renal tubular secretion. Any rise in meclofenamate level would be small and is not well documented.
What this interaction means in plain words
Meclofenamic acid and Rose hips 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
Theoretical competition for renal tubular anion secretion; poorly established.
What to do
No specific action is needed. Reassess if NSAID adverse effects appear in a patient using large amounts of rose hip products.
