Concurrent intake of more than 200 mg of Ascorbic acid per 300 mg of elemental iron would increase absorption of iron from the intestines. Increased urinary excretion of Ascorbic acid and decreased excretion of aspirin occur when the patient takes these drugs 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.
