Wine and Tiaprofenic Acid

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

Major

NONSTEROIDAL ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DRUGS (NSAIDs)

Why this applies to Tiaprofenic Acid

Tiaprofenic Acid 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 with Tiaprofenic Acid: like other NSAIDs, it can irritate the lining of your stomach and gut, and it nudges up your risk of bleeding there. Wine adds to that same risk. The alcohol in wine is also rough on your stomach lining, so when you pair the two, you're stacking two irritants on top of each other.

What this can look like in real life is stomach pain, heartburn, dark or tarry stools, or even vomit that looks like coffee grounds, which are warning signs of a bleed. An occasional small glass is lower risk than regular or heavy drinking, but I wouldn't make it a habit while on this medicine. Please check in with your pharmacist or doctor about what's safe for you.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Tiaprofenic Acid page

“A prescription NSAID like tiaprofenic acid (Tiafen, Albert Tiafen) already carries bleeding and kidney risks of its own, so the five major-rated entries among its 32 supplement interactions warrant close attention. Alcohol is the everyday hazard, since drinking with an NSAID markedly raises the chance of stomach and intestinal bleeding…”

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.
