The following dosing information is available for ASPERCREME (lidocaine hcl):
Dosage of salicylate salts must be carefully adjusted according to individual requirements and response, using the lowest possible effective dosage.
Unless otherwise directed by a clinician, choline salicylate, magnesium salicylate, sodium salicylate should not be used for self-medication of pain for longer than 10 days in adults; choline salicylate and sodium salicylate should not be used for self-medication of pain for longer than 5 days in children. Pain of such intensity and duration may indicate a pathologic condition requiring medical evaluation and supervised treatment. These preparations should not be used in adults or children for self-medication of marked fever (greater than 39.5degreesC), fever persisting longer than 3 days, or recurrent fever, unless otherwise directed by a clinician, since such fevers may indicate serious illness requiring prompt evaluation and treatment by a physician.
In addition, these preparations should not be used in adults or children for self-medication of sore throat for longer than 2 days, unless otherwise directed by a clinician.
To minimize the risk of overdosage, no more than 5 doses of any of these drugs should be administered to children for analgesia or antipyresis in any 24-hour period, unless otherwise directed by a clinician.

Choline salicylate, magnesium salicylate, sodium salicylate, and combination preparations containing choline salicylate and magnesium salicylate are administered orally. The drugs should usually be given with food or a large quantity (240 mL) of water or milk to minimize gastric irritation. Although rarely necessary, sodium salicylate may also be administered by slow IV infusion. Trolamine salicylate is applied topically.

The following drug interaction information is available for ASPERCREME (lidocaine hcl):
There are 0 contraindications.
There are 2 severe interactions.
These drug interactions can produce serious consequences in most patients. Actions required for severe interactions include, but are not limited to, discontinuing one or both agents, adjusting dosage, altering administration scheduling, and providing additional patient monitoring. Review the full interaction monograph for more information.
| Drug Interaction | Drug Names |
|---|---|
| Influenza Virus Vaccine Live/Salicylates SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Use of salicylates during influenza infection has been associated with Reye's Syndrome.(1,2) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Use of the live influenza virus vaccine in children and adolescents (patients age 2-17 years) receiving salicylate therapy may increase the risk of Reye's Syndrome.(1,2) Symptoms of Reye's syndrome include drowsiness, confusion, seizures, coma. In severe cases, Reye's syndrome can result in death. PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The use of live influenza virus vaccine in children and adolescents (patients age 2-17 years) receiving salicylate therapy is contraindicated.(1,2) Use of salicylates should be avoided for 4 weeks after administration of live influenza vaccine.(1) DISCUSSION: Because the use of salicylates during influenza infection has been associated with Reye's Syndrome, the use of live influenza virus vaccine in children and adolescents (patients age 2-17 years) receiving salicylate therapy is contraindicated.(1,2) |
FLUMIST TRIVALENT 2024-2025 |
| Slt Anticoagulants (Vit K Antagonists)/Topical Salicylates SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Multiple processes are involved: 1) Salicylate doses greater than 3 gm daily decrease plasma prothrombin levels. 2) Salicylates may also displace anticoagulants from plasma protein binding sites. 3) Aspirin is an irreversible platelet inhibitor. Salicylates impair platelet function, resulting in prolonged bleeding time. 4) Salicylates may cause gastrointestinal(GI) bleeding due to irritation. CLINICAL EFFECTS: The concurrent use of anticoagulants and salicylates leads to blockade of two distinct coagulation pathways and may increase the risk for bleeding. PREDISPOSING FACTORS: The risk for bleeding episodes may be greater in patients with disease-associated factors (e.g. thrombocytopenia). Drug associated risk factors include concurrent use of multiple drugs which inhibit anticoagulant/antiplatelet metabolism and/or have an inherent risk for bleeding (e.g. NSAIDs). PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Avoid concomitant administration of these drugs. When aspirin is required for cardioprotection, a low dose (< 100 mg daily) is recommended to decrease the risk for aspirin-induced GI bleeding. If concurrent therapy is warranted, monitor patients receiving concurrent therapy for signs of blood loss, including decreased hemoglobin, hematocrit, fecal occult blood, and/or decreased blood pressure and promptly evaluate patients with any symptoms. When applicable, perform agent-specific laboratory test (e.g. INR, aPTT) to monitor efficacy and safety of anticoagulation. Discontinue anticoagulation in patients with active pathologic bleeding. Instruct patients to report any signs and symptoms of bleeding, such as unusual bleeding from the gums or nose; unusual bruising; red or black, tarry stools; red, pink or dark brown urine; acute abdominal or joint pain and/or swelling. DISCUSSION: Topical use of methyl salicylate has been reported to increase the effects of warfarin.(1-7) In a case series on 11 patients who used significant amounts of methyl salicylate (2-4 g of ointment for previous 2 weeks), all had significant increases in INR and positive blood levels of salicylates. Two patients experienced diffuse bruising and one experienced gastrointestinal bleeding.(1) A self-controlled case study of 1,622 oral anticoagulant-precipitant drug pairs were reviewed and found 14% of drug pairs were associated with a statistically significant elevated risk of thromboembolism. Concurrent use of warfarin and diflunisal resulted in a ratio of rate ratios (RR) (95% CI) of 3.85 (1.34-11.03); and warfarin and aspirin ratio of RR 2.13 (1.72-2.64). |
