Side effects.

From the nervous system and sensory organs: headache, dizziness, hearing loss, noise in ears.

Cardio-vascular system and blood (hematopoiesis, hemostasis): heart failure, increased blood pressure, agranulocytosis, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, anemia.

From the digestive tract: NSAID-gastropathy: abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, heartburn, diarrhea.

Other: bleeding: gastrointestinal, gingival, Uterine, hemorrhoidal; bronchospasm, swelling, the liver and kidneys, increased sweating; allergic reactions; with long-term use in high doses is pitting gastrointestinal mucosa, bleeding.

Cooperation.

Inductors of microsomal oxidation (incl. phenytoin, ethanol, barbiturates, rifampicin, phenylbutazone, tricyclic antidepressants) increase the production of hydroxylated active metabolites; Ethanol contributes to the development of acute pancreatitis. It enhances the activity of anticoagulants, antiagregantov, fibrinolitikov, as well as side effects mineralogy- and glucocorticoids, estrogen, scarp- and nephrotoxic agents. Reduces the effectiveness of drugs urikozuricheskih, hypotensive diuretics and. Antacids reduce the absorption and cholestyramine.
