These drugs are the most prescribed medicines in the world. For certain NSAIDs, ibuprofen and indomethacin, there has been shown a dose response relation for renal failure risk. For individual NSAIDs, those with longer half lives than 12 hours have proved to be more dangerous. There has not been shown any clear advantages for selective cox-2-inhibition to the more unselective in this aspect.

In addition to potassium phenoxymethylpenicillin (aqueous solubility >10 mg/mL except at low pH), which just fails to meet the BCS criteria for highly soluble at higher doses, there are numerous other examples of compounds which are unable to meet the criteria at low pH but which fall well within the required D S range at typical pH in the small intestine. Notable examples include ibuprofen and indomethacin,...

Lithium intoxication can be precipitated by the use of diuretics, particularly thiazides and metola-zone, and ACE inhibitors. NSAIDs can also precipitate lithium toxicity, mainly due to NSAID inhibition of prostaglandin-dependent renal excretion mechanisms. NSAIDs also impair renal function and cause sodium and water retention, effects which can predispose to interactions. Many case reports describe the antagonistic effects of NSAIDs on diuretics and antihypertensive drugs. The combination of triamterene and indomethacin appears particularly hazardous as it may result in acute renal failure. NSAIDs may also interfere with the beneficial effects of diuretics and ACE inhibitors in heart failure. It is not unusual to see patients whose heart failure has deteriorated in spite of increased doses of frusemide who are also concurrently taking an NSAID.
