Summary
NSAIDs can reduce the renal secretion of penicillins and compete for protein binding, which may raise ticarcillin concentrations. Ticarcillin also impairs platelet function, which may add to the NSAID bleeding risk.
What this interaction means in plain words
Oxaprozin and Ticarcillin 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
Competition for renal tubular organic anion secretion and protein binding, plus additive platelet effects.
What to do
No routine adjustment is needed; monitor renal function and watch for bleeding, especially in patients with renal impairment or high doses.
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?
