Aspirin Alcohol interaction

[Moderate] GENERALLY AVOID:

The concurrent use of Cardasa or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and ethanol may lead to gastrointestinal (GI) blood loss.

The mechanism may be due to a combined local effect as well as inhibition of prostaglandins leading to decreased integrity of the GI lining.
