InteractionsDrug-Drug interactionConcurrent use with aspirin may decrease effectiveness.Additive adverse GI effects with aspirin, other NSAIDs, colchicine, corticosteroids, or alcohol.Chronic use with acetaminophen may increase the risk of adverse renal and hepatic reactions (increases acetaminophen blood levels by 50%).May decrease the effectiveness of diuretics or antihypertensives; but increases levels of hydrochlorothiazide.May increase the hypoglycemic effects of sulfonylureas.Probenecid increases risk of toxicity from diflunisal.Increased risk of bleeding with some cephalosporins or anticoagulants.May increase levels and increase the risk of toxicity from cyclosporine, digoxin,lithium, or methotrexate.Increased risk of adverse hematologic reactions with antineoplastics or radiation therapy.Administration with antacids decreases absorption of diflunisal.May increase the risk of adverse renal reactions when used with gold compounds.Increased bleeding risk with anise, arnica, chamomile, clove, feverfew, garlic, ginger, ginkgo, ginseng, and others.Route/DosageOral (Adults) Anti-inflammatory—250–500 mg twice daily (maximum daily dose = 1.5 g). Analgesic—500 mg–1 g initially, then 250–500 mg q 8–12 hr (maximum daily dose = 1.5 g).Availability (generic available)Tablets: 250 mg, 500 mg Nursing implicationsNursing assessment- Patients who have asthma, aspirin-induced allergy, and nasal polyps are at increased risk for developing hypersensitivity reactions. Routinely monitor BP in patients with history of hypertension.
- Arthritis: Assess pain and range of motion before and periodically during therapy.
- Pain: Assess pain (type, location, and intensity) before and 1–2 hr after administration.
- Lab Test Considerations: BUN, serum creatinine, CBC, and liver function tests should be evaluated periodically in patients receiving prolonged course of therapy.
- Serum creatinine, AST, ALT, and LDH may show increased levels. Serum uric acid levels may be decreased.
- May cause minimally prolonged bleeding time at higher doses, which may persist for less than 1 day after discontinuation of therapy.
Potential Nursing DiagnosesAcute pain (Indications) Impaired physical mobility (Indications) Deficient knowledge, related to medication regimen (Patient/Family Teaching)
Implementation- Coadministration with opioid analgesics may have additive analgesic effects and may permit lower opioid doses.
- Oral: For rapid initial effect, administer 30 min before or 2 hr after meals. May be administered with food, milk, or antacids to decrease GI irritation. Tablets should be swallowed whole; do not crush or chew.
Patient/Family Teaching- Advise patient to take diflunisal with a full glass of water and to remain in an upright position for 15–30 min after administration.
- Instruct patient to take diflunisal exactly as directed. If a dose is missed, it should be taken as soon as remembered but not if almost time for the next dose. Do not double doses.
- May cause drowsiness or dizziness. Advise patient to avoid driving or other activities requiring alertness until response to the medication is known.
- Caution patient to avoid concurrent use of alcohol, aspirin, other NSAIDs, acetaminophen, or other OTC medications without consulting health care professional.
- Instruct patient to notify health care professional of medication regimen before treatment or surgery.
- Advise patient to consult health care professional if rash, itching, visual disturbances, tinnitus, weight gain, edema, black stools, persistent headache, or influenza-like syndrome (chills, fever, muscle aches, pain) occurs.
- Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warn against giving aspirin or salicylates to children or adolescents with varicella (chickenpox) or influenza-like or viral illnesses because of a possible association with Reye’s syndrome.
- Advise patient to notify health care professional if pregnancy is planned or suspected.
Evaluation/Desired Outcomes- Decrease in severity of mild to moderate pain.
