Trilisate

Complete list of drugs used to treat arthritis.

Trilisate is used to relieve the pain, tenderness, inflammation (swelling), and stiffness caused by arthritis and painful shoulder. It is also used to relieve pain and lower fever. Trilisate is in a class of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) called salicylates. It works by stopping the body's production of a substance that causes pain, fever, and inflammation.

Precautions concerning Trilisate

  • tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic to Trilisate, aspirin, choline salicylate (Arthropan), diflunisal (Dolobid), magnesium salicylate (Doan's, others), salsalate (Argesic, Disalcid, Salgesic), or any other medications.
  • tell your doctor and pharmacist what prescription and nonprescription medications, vitamins, nutritional supplements, and herbal products you are taking. Be sure to mention any of the following: acetazolamide (Diamox); antacids; anticoagulants ('blood thinners') such as warfarin (Coumadin); dichlorphenamide (Daranide); insulin and oral medications for diabetes such as acetohexamide (Dymelor), chlorpropamide (Diabinese), glimepiride (Amaryl), glipizide (Glucotrol), glyburide (DiaBeta, Glynase, Micronase), tolazamide (Tolinase), and tolbutamide (Orinase); medications for gout such as probenecid (Benemid) and sulfinpyrazone (Anturane); methazolamide (GlaucTabs, Neptazane); methotrexate (Rheumatrex); oral steroids such as dexamethasone (Decadron, Dexone), methylprednisolone (Medrol), and prednisone (Deltasone); other salicylate pain relievers such as aspirin, choline salicylate (Arthropan), diflunisal (Dolobid), magnesium salicylate (Doan's, others), and salsalate (Argesic, Disalcid, Salgesic); phenytoin (Dilantin); and valproic acid (Depakene, Depakote). Your doctor may need to change the doses of your medications or monitor you carefully for side effects.
  • tell your doctor if you have or have ever had stomach problems such as ulcers or kidney or liver disease.
  • you should know that Trilisate should not be taken by children and teenagers with chicken pox or the flu, because of the risk of Reye Syndrome, a rare but serious disease.
  • tell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding. If you become pregnant while taking Trilisate, call your doctor.
  • if you are having surgery, including dental surgery, tell the doctor or dentist that you are taking Trilisate.
  • ask your doctor about the safe use of alcoholic beverages while you are taking choline magnesium trisalicylate. Alcohol can make the side effects from choline magnesium trisalicylate worse.
