Salflex Oral Interactions

Your doctor or pharmacist may already be aware of any possible drug interactions and may be monitoring you for them. Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medicine before checking with your doctor or pharmacist first.

This drug should not be used with the following medications because very serious interactions may occur:



  • cidofovir
  • ketorolac


If you are currently using any of these medications listed above, tell your doctor or pharmacist before starting salsalate.

Before using this product, tell your doctor or pharmacist of all prescription and nonprescription/herbal products you may use, especially of:

  • anti-platelet drugs (e.g., cilostazol, clopidogrel)
  • "blood thinners" (e.g., enoxaparin, heparin, warfarin)
  • corticosteroids (e.g., prednisone)
  • certain diabetes drugs (e.g., sulfonylureas such as glyburide)
  • certain drugs for seizures (phenytoin, valproic acid)
  • corticosteroids (e.g., prednisone)
  • cyclosporine
  • drugs for gout (e.g., probenecid, sulfinpyrazone)
  • drugs for high blood pressure (including ACE inhibitors such as captopril, angiotensin II receptor antagonists such as losartan, and beta blockers such as metoprolol)

Check all prescription and nonprescription medicine labels carefully since many contain pain relievers/fever reducers (NSAIDs such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen) that are similar to this drug and, if taken together, may increase your risk for side effects. Low-dose aspirin should be continued if prescribed by your doctor for specific medical reasons such as heart attack or stroke prevention (usually at dosages of 81-325 milligrams per day). Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details.

This medication may interfere with certain laboratory tests (including certain urine glucose tests, thyroid hormone levels), possibly causing false test results. Make sure laboratory personnel and all your doctors know you use this drug.

This document does not contain all possible interactions. Therefore, before using this product, tell your doctor or pharmacist of all the products you use. Keep a list of all your medications with you, and share the list with your doctor and pharmacist.
