What the FDA labels say
From the Aspirin and dipyridamole label · effective 2023-12-26

From the Valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide (Diovan HCT) label · effective 2026-02-13
Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Agents (NSAIDs), Including Selective Cyclooxygenase-2 Inhibitors (COX-2 Inhibitors): In patients who are elderly, volume-depleted (including those on diuretic therapy), or with compromised renal function, coadministration of NSAIDs, including selective COX-2 inhibitors, with angiotensin II receptor antagonists, including valsartan,…
Monitor renal function periodically in patients receiving valsartan and NSAID therapy.
Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) : May increase risk of renal impairment.
