Wine and Oxaprozin

Here is the interaction we found between these two, with the evidence behind it.

Major

NONSTEROIDAL ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DRUGS (NSAIDs)

Why this applies to Oxaprozin

Oxaprozin falls under NONSTEROIDAL ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DRUGS (NSAIDs) — the group Wine interacts with.

Concomitant use may increase the risk of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding.
Concomitant use of NSAIDs with alcohol may increase the risk of GI bleeding.
Severity Major Likelihood Probable Evidence C

Interaction has not been documented in well-controlled studies, however, the interaction has been demonstrated in some small human studies or in controlled animal studies in conjunction with multiple case reports..

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the thing to know about pairing wine with oxaprozin (Daypro): both can be hard on your stomach lining, and together they add up. Oxaprozin is an NSAID, and these drugs reduce the protective substances that normally shield your stomach. Alcohol is an irritant too, so combining the two raises your odds of stomach bleeding and ulcers.

What might that look like? Stomach pain, heartburn, dark or tarry stools, or vomit that looks like coffee grounds. Those are warning signs to take seriously. An occasional glass of wine is a different story than drinking regularly, but since oxaprozin is long-acting and stays in your system, the risk doesn't fully clear quickly. Please check with your pharmacist or doctor about what's safe for you.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Oxaprozin page

“I would put oxaprozin (Daypro), a long-acting NSAID prescribed for arthritis pain, in the read-carefully category. The interactions that concern me most pile onto the drug's own weak spots: alcohol, meaning the beer and wine entries below, raises the odds of stomach bleeding on any NSAID, and several kidney-stressing herbs can deepen t…”

About Wine

What is Wine?

  • Social and relaxation use
  • Heart health (popular belief)
  • Antioxidant intake
  • Aiding digestion (traditional use)
  • Culinary flavoring

Wine is an alcoholic beverage made from fermented grapes and is not a true dietary supplement or medicine. Despite popular claims about heart benefits, the alcohol it contains carries real health risks, and no amount of drinking can be recommended to improve health. If you drink, do so in moderation, and avoid alcohol entirely during pregnancy or if you have certain medical conditions.
