Summary
Noni juice is rich in potassium, and NSAIDs can reduce renal potassium excretion, so serum potassium may rise. This is mainly a concern in patients with kidney disease or those taking other potassium-raising drugs.
What this interaction means in plain words
Noni juice and Piroxicam 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
Additive effects: dietary potassium load from noni juice plus NSAID-induced suppression of renin-aldosterone axis and renal potassium excretion.
What to do
Monitor serum potassium in patients with renal impairment or on ACE inhibitors, ARBs or potassium-sparing diuretics, and advise limiting noni juice.
What to ask your pharmacist
- Is there anything I should notice while taking both?
- Do I need to tell my doctor at the next visit?
