Aspirin can inhibit the enzyme CYP2C9 in the liver, potentially slowing the metabolism of drugs like warfarin and leading to increased drug levels and effects.
Aspirin may increase serum concentrations of medications metabolized by CYP450 enzymes by competing for enzyme binding, leading to potential drug toxicity.
