Summary
Moxisylyte is an alpha-blocking vasodilator, and NSAIDs such as nabumetone can blunt vasodilator effects by reducing prostaglandin-mediated vasodilation and promoting fluid retention. Any loss of vasodilating effect is likely to be small and variable.
What this interaction means in plain words
Moxisylyte 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
NSAID inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis may partially counteract vasodilator-induced effects, a pharmacodynamic antagonism that is poorly characterized for moxisylyte.
What to do
Monitor the clinical response to moxisylyte when nabumetone is started or stopped. No dose adjustment is routinely needed.
