PhenytoinMost NSAIDsDisplaces phenytoin from plasma protein, reducing total concentration for the same active concentration
LithiumMost NSAIDsIncreases plasma lithium level
DigoxinMost NSAIDsMay increase digoxin levels
AminoglycosidesMost NSAIDsMay increase aminoglycoside level
MethotrexateMost NSAIDsMay increase methotrexate plasma concentration
CholestyramineMost NSAIDsAnion exchange resin binds NSAIDs in gut, ↓absorption
