    In a pharmacokinetic interaction study with warfarin, bioavailability parameters, the degree of protein binding, and the anticoagulant effect (measured by prothrombin time) of warfarin were not significantly changed. (Fosinopril label, Drug interactions)

  • Interaction studies with warfarin have failed to identify any clinically important effects of fosinopril on the serum concentration or clinical effects of the anticoagulant. (Fosinopril and hydrochlorothiazide label, Drug interactions)

  • Garlic (supplement)Herbal and supplementMinor

    Garlic supplements may increase bleeding risk with anticoagulants such as warfarin. (NCCIH, Garlic)

  • MefloquineantimalarialMinor

    Nevertheless, the effects of mefloquine on travelers receiving concomitant medications, particularly diabetics or patients using anticoagulants, should be checked before departure. (Mefloquine label, Drug interactions)

  • MethohexitalbarbiturateMinor

    Barbiturates may influence the metabolism of other concomitantly used drugs, such as phenytoin, halothane, anticoagulants, corticosteroids, ethyl alcohol, and propylene glycol-containing solutions. (Methohexital label, Drug interactions)

  • MexiletineantiarrhythmicMinor

    In a large compassionate use program mexiletine has been used concurrently with commonly employed antianginal, antihypertensive, and anticoagulant drugs without observed interactions. (Mexiletine label, Drug interactions)

  • MoexiprilACE inhibitorMinor

    Oral Anticoagulants: Interaction studies with warfarin failed to identify any clinically important effect on the serum concentrations of the anticoagulant or on its anticoagulant effect. (Moexipril label, Drug interactions)

  • ProchlorperazineantipsychoticMinor

    Phenothiazines can diminish the effect of oral anticoagulants. (Prochlorperazine label, Precautions)

  • Sixteen (16) drugs tested did not show an in vitro interaction with LOKELMA (allopurinol, apixaban, aspirin, captopril, cyclosporine, digoxin, ethinyl estradiol, lisinopril, magnesium, metformin, phenytoin, prednisone, propranolol, quinapril, spironolactone and ticagrelor). (Sodium zirconium cyclosilicate label, Drug interactions)

  • SolriamfetolCNS stimulantMinor

    These include aspirin and other antiplatelet agents, other anticoagulants, heparin, thrombolytic agents, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) [see Drug Interactions (7.3) ] . (Apixaban label, Warnings and precautions)

  • TrandolaprilACE inhibitorMinor

    The anticoagulant effect of warfarin was not significantly changed by trandolapril. (Trandolapril label, Drug interactions)

  • Tranexamic acidantifibrinolyticMinor

    There is no experience with antifibrinolytic agents (tranexamic acid, aminocaproic acid) in individuals receiving apixaban. (Apixaban label, Warnings and precautions)

  • TrifluoperazineantipsychoticMinor

    Phenothiazines may diminish the effect of oral anticoagulants. (Trifluoperazine label, Precautions)

  • Viloxazinenorepinephrine reuptake inhibitorMinor

    These include aspirin and other antiplatelet agents, other anticoagulants, heparin, thrombolytic agents, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) [see Drug Interactions (7.3) ] . (Apixaban label, Warnings and precautions)

No significant interaction reported (6)

  • AcitretinretinoidNo interaction

    Investigations into the effect of acitretin on the protein binding of anticoagulants of the coumarin type (warfarin) revealed no interaction. (Acitretin label, Drug interactions)

  • Anastrozolearomatase inhibitorNo interaction

    Warfarin In a study conducted in 16 male volunteers, anastrozole did not alter the exposure (as measured by C max and AUC) and anticoagulant activity (as measured by prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, and thrombin time) of both R- and S-warfarin. (Anastrozole label, Drug interactions)

  • Bumetanideloop diureticNo interaction

    Anticoagulants Interaction studies in humans have shown bumetanide to have no effect on warfarin metabolism or on plasma prothrombin activity. (Bumetanide label, Drug interactions)

  • DesmopressinNo interaction

    There is no experience with systemic hemostatics (desmopressin) in individuals receiving ELIQUIS, and they are not expected to be effective as a reversal agent. (Apixaban label, Warnings and precautions)

  • FesoterodineanticholinergicNo interaction

    Warfarin A clinical study has shown that fesoterodine 8 mg once daily has no significant effect on the pharmacokinetics or the anticoagulant activity (PT/INR) of warfarin 25 mg. (Fesoterodine label, Drug interactions)

  • ProtamineNo interaction

    Protamine sulfate and vitamin K are not expected to affect the anticoagulant activity of apixaban. (Apixaban label, Warnings and precautions)
