Increased urinary excretion of Ascorbic acid and decreased excretion of aspirin occur when these drugs are taken together. Taking Ascorbic acid with paracetamol can prolong the presence of paracetamol in the blood. Ascorbic acid is not compatible in solution with drugs like aminophylline, bleomycin, erythromycin, lactobionate, nafcillin, sodium nitrofurantoin, conjugated estrogens, sodium bicarbonate, sulfafurazole, diethanolamine, chloramphenicol sodium succinate, chlorothiazide sodium and hydrocortisone sodium succinate.
