Interaksi Etodolak dan Metotreksat

NSAIDs, such as etodolac, should not be administered prior to or concomitantly with high doses of methotrexate.

Cyclosporine, Digoxin, Methotrexate Etodolac, like other NSAIDs, through effects on renal prostaglandins, may cause changes in the elimination of these drugs leading to elevated serum levels of cyclosporine, digoxin, methotrexate, and increased toxicity.

This may indicate that they could enhance the toxicity of methotrexate.

In general, caution should be used when NSAIDs are administered concomitantly with methotrexate.

NSAIDs have been reported to competitively inhibit methotrexate accumulation in rabbit kidney slices.

Unexpectedly severe and fatal gastrointestinal toxicity can occur with concomitant administration of XATMEP (primarily at high dosage) and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) [see Drug Interactions ( 7.1 )] .

NSAIDs, Aspirin, and Steroids: May elevate and prolong serum methotrexate levels and increase gastrointestinal toxicity.

Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs), Aspirin, and Steroids Concomitant administration of some NSAIDs with high dose methotrexate therapy has been reported to elevate and prolong serum methotrexate levels, resulting in deaths from severe hematologic and gastrointestinal toxicity.

Caution should be used when NSAIDs and salicylates are administered concomitantly with lower doses of methotrexate, including XATMEP.

Despite the potential interactions, studies of methotrexate in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, including patients with polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (pJIA), have usually included concurrent use of constant dosage regimens of NSAIDs, without apparent problems.
