CAPRYLIC ACID - Uses, Side Effects, and More

NSAIDs (Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) interacts with CAPRYLIC ACID

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are used to reduce pain and swelling. In the blood, NSAIDs bind to a protein called albumin. When bound to albumin, NSAIDs are not active. When displaced from albumin, NSAIDs are active. Caprylic acid can also bind to albumin. Taking caprylic acid along with NSAIDs might displace NSAIDs from albumin, increasing the amount that is active. This might increase the effects and side effects of NSAIDs. Some NSAIDs include ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, Nuprin, others), indomethacin (Indocin), naproxen (Aleve, Anaprox, Naprelan, Naprosyn), piroxicam (Feldene), aspirin, and others.

Warfarin (Coumadin) interacts with CAPRYLIC ACID

In the blood, warfarin (Coumadin) binds to a protein called albumin. When bound to albumin, warfarin is not active. When displaced from albumin, warfarin (Coumadin) slows blood clotting. Like warfarin, caprylic acid binds to albumin. Taking caprylic acid along with warfarin might displace warfarin from albumin. This might increase the effects of warfarin and increase the chances of bruising and bleeding. Be sure to have your blood checked regularly. The dose of your warfarin (Coumadin) might need to be changed.
