<20%:
Gastrointestinal: Constipation, diarrhea, dyspepsia, epigastric pain, heartburn, nausea, vomiting

<2%:
Central nervous system: Dizziness, drowsiness, headache, lethargy
Otic: Auditory impairment
<1% (Limited to important or life-threatening): Anorexia, asthma, bruise, confusion, duodenal ulcer, dysgeusia, edema, epistaxis, erythema multiforme, esophagitis, gastric ulcer, hallucination, hearing loss (irreversible), increased blood urea nitrogen, increased liver enzymes, increased serum creatinine, occult blood in stools, pruritus, skin rash, weight gain
Concerns related to adverse effects:
- Gastrointestinal (GI) adverse effects: Nausea, vomiting, gastric upset, indigestion, heartburn, diarrhea, constipation, and/or epigastric pain may occur frequently.
- Tinnitus: Tinnitus is a common adverse effect; may indicate toxicity; reduce dose until tinnitus resolves.
Disease-related concerns:
- Asthma: Use with caution in patients with asthma. Non-acetylated salicylate products are associated with cross reactivity in aspirin-sensitive patients, although choline magnesium trisalicylate has been demonstrated to be well tolerated (with respect to respiratory symptoms) in patients with aspirin-sensitive asthma.
- Gastrointestinal disease: Use with caution in patients with gastritis or peptic ulcer disease. Avoid coadministration with ethanol; may enhance GI adverse effects, including GI bleeding.
- Hepatic impairment: Use with caution in patients with acute or chronic hepatic impairment.
- Renal impairment: Use with caution in patients with acute or chronic renal impairment.
Concurrent drug therapy issues:
- Drug-drug interactions: Potentially significant interactions may exist, requiring dose or frequency adjustment, additional monitoring, and/or selection of alternative therapy. Consult drug interactions database for more detailed information.
Special populations:
- Elderly: Use lowest effective dose for shortest period possible in the elderly; they are a high-risk population for adverse effects from salicylates/NSAIDs. Tinnitus may be a difficult and unreliable indication of toxicity due to age-related hearing loss or eighth cranial nerve damage.
- Pediatric: Children and teenagers who have or are recovering from chickenpox, influenza, or flu-like symptoms should not use salicylate products, including choline magnesium trisalicylate. Changes in behavior (along with nausea and vomiting) may be an early sign of Reyes syndrome; patients should be instructed to contact their healthcare provider if these occur.
C
Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted. Due to the known effects of other salicylates on the fetal cardiovascular system (closure of ductus arteriosus), use during late pregnancy should be avoided.
Weakly inhibits cyclooxygenase enzymes, which results in decreased formation of prostaglandin precursors; antipyretic, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory properties.
Other proposed mechanisms not fully elucidated (and possibly contributing to the anti-inflammatory effect to varying degrees) include inhibiting chemotaxis, altering lymphocyte activity, inhibiting neutrophil aggregation/activation, and decreasing proinflammatory cytokine levels.

- Discuss specific use of drug and side effects with patient as it relates to treatment. (HCAHPS: During this hospital stay, were you given any medicine that you had not taken before? Before giving you any new medicine, how often did hospital staff tell you what the medicine was for? How often did hospital staff describe possible side effects in a way you could understand?)
- Patient may experience heartburn, nausea, vomiting, constipation, or diarrhea. Have patient report immediately to prescriber signs of liver problems (dark urine, feeling tired, lack of appetite, nausea, abdominal pain, light-colored stools, vomiting, or yellow skin or eyes); bruising; bleeding; severe abdominal pain; tinnitus; black, tarry, or bloody stools; vomiting blood; hearing impairment; confusion; or hallucinations (HCAHPS).
- Educate patient about signs of a significant reaction (eg, wheezing; chest tightness; fever; itching; bad cough; blue skin color; seizures; or swelling of face, lips, tongue, or throat). Note: This is not a comprehensive list of all side effects. Patient should consult prescriber for additional questions.
