Summary
Non-acetylated salicylates have weak effects on prostaglandin synthesis and are unlikely to meaningfully blunt the blood pressure lowering of terazosin. Any effect is expected to be small and clinically insignificant at usual doses.
What this interaction means in plain words
Salicylates and Terazosin 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 pharmacodynamic opposition through reduced vasodilatory prostaglandins, which is weak for non-acetylated salicylates.
What to do
No routine action is needed; check blood pressure if high-dose salicylates are started or stopped in a patient treated for hypertension.
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?
