The interaction between aspirin and amoxicillin is driven by the microbiota. The gut microbiota converts aspirin to the active metabolite salicylic acid. Co-administration of aspirin with amoxicillin (which reduces the diversity and abundance of gut microbes, e.g., Helicobacter pylori and Prevotella_copri) slows down this metabolism, resulting in decreasing aspirin activity and increasing side effects. |
