Acetylsalicylic acid + Balsalazide

MediHelp rates the interaction as minor. Acetylsalicylic acid and Balsalazide have a small, usually unimportant interaction. Most people can take both; the pharmacist may still mention it so that any unexpected effect is recognised. Balsalazide is delivered to the colon and releases mesalamine, a salicylate-related compound. Combining it with aspirin may add salicylate exposure, and aspirin could compete for renal tubular secretion of metabolites. The clinical effect is generally small, but renal function should be considered.

MediHelp rates it minor, on a four-level scale (minor, moderate, major, contraindicated) based on published labels and references. What to do, in brief: No routine adjustment is needed; monitor renal function periodically in patients on high-dose aspirin with balsalazide.

MediHelp also lists interactions of Acetylsalicylic acid with, for example, Ketorolac, Ketorolac intranasal, Abciximab. The full list is on the Acetylsalicylic acid page.
