Summary
No clinically important interaction is established. Beta-agonists can lower serum potassium, whereas NSAIDs may modestly raise it in susceptible patients, so effects are unpredictable and usually small.
What this interaction means in plain words
Metaproterenol and Nabumetone 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
Opposing potassium effects: beta-2 mediated cellular uptake versus NSAID-related reduced renal potassium excretion; no established interaction.
What to do
No routine action is needed. Check potassium in patients with renal impairment or those using high doses of beta-agonist.
