Major interactions (3)

  • CapecitabineantimetaboliteMajor

    WARNING: SERIOUS ADVERSE REACTIONS OR DEATH IN PATIENTS WITH COMPLETE DPD DEFICIENCY and INCREASED RISK OF BLEEDING WITH CONCOMITANT USE OF VITAMIN K ANTAGONISTS Increased risk of serious adverse reactions or death in patients with complete DPD deficiency • Test patients for genetic variants of DPYD prior to initiating XELODA unless immediate treatment is necessary. (Capecitabine label, Boxed warning)

  • PhenytoinanticonvulsantMajor

    A potentially life-threatening bleeding disorder related to decreased levels of vitamin K-dependent clotting factors may occur in newborns exposed to phenytoin in utero. (Phenytoin label, Warnings and precautions)

  • RifampinantibioticMajor

    Postmarketing reports suggest that concomitant administration of high doses of cefazolin and rifampin may prolong the prothrombin time, leading to severe vitamin K–dependent coagulation disorders that may be life-threatening or fatal. (Rifampin label, Warnings)

Moderate interactions (16)

  • ApixabananticoagulantModerate

    Anticoagulants Phytonadione injectable emulsion may induce temporary resistance to prothrombin-depressing anticoagulants, especially when larger doses of phytonadione injectable emulsion are used. (Phytonadione (vitamin K1) label, Drug interactions)

  • CefiximecephalosporinModerate

    Prothrombin time should be monitored in patients at risk and exogenous vitamin K administered as indicated. (Cefixime label, Warnings and precautions)

  • Colesevelambile acid sequestrantModerate

    Vitamin K or Fat-Soluble Vitamin Deficiencies: Colesevelam hydrochloride may decrease absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. (Colesevelam label, Warnings and precautions)

  • DabigatrananticoagulantModerate

    Anticoagulants Phytonadione injectable emulsion may induce temporary resistance to prothrombin-depressing anticoagulants, especially when larger doses of phytonadione injectable emulsion are used. (Phytonadione (vitamin K1) label, Drug interactions)

  • EdoxabananticoagulantModerate

    Anticoagulants Phytonadione injectable emulsion may induce temporary resistance to prothrombin-depressing anticoagulants, especially when larger doses of phytonadione injectable emulsion are used. (Phytonadione (vitamin K1) label, Drug interactions)

  • EnoxaparinanticoagulantModerate

    Anticoagulants Phytonadione injectable emulsion may induce temporary resistance to prothrombin-depressing anticoagulants, especially when larger doses of phytonadione injectable emulsion are used. (Phytonadione (vitamin K1) label, Drug interactions)

  • FondaparinuxanticoagulantModerate

    Anticoagulants Phytonadione injectable emulsion may induce temporary resistance to prothrombin-depressing anticoagulants, especially when larger doses of phytonadione injectable emulsion are used. (Phytonadione (vitamin K1) label, Drug interactions)

  • HeparinanticoagulantModerate

    Anticoagulants Phytonadione injectable emulsion may induce temporary resistance to prothrombin-depressing anticoagulants, especially when larger doses of phytonadione injectable emulsion are used. (Phytonadione (vitamin K1) label, Drug interactions)

  • Methimazoleantithyroid drugModerate

    Drug Interactions Anticoagulants (oral): Due to potential inhibition of vitamin K activity by methimazole, the activity of oral anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin) may be increased; additional monitoring of PT/INR should be considered, especially before surgical procedures. β-adrenergic blocking agents: Hyperthyroidism may cause an increased clearance of beta blockers… (Methimazole label, Drug interactions)

  • NeomycinaminoglycosideModerate

    Oral neomycin sulfate may enhance the effect of coumarin in anticoagulants by decreasing vitamin K availability. (Neomycin label, Drug interactions)

  • OrlistatModerate

    The effect of ORLISTAT on the absorption of supplemental vitamin D, vitamin A, and nutritionally-derived vitamin K is not known at this time [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) , and Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . (Orlistat label, Drug interactions)

  • PentoxifyllinemethylxanthineModerate

    Increased prothrombin time has been reported in patients concomitantly treated with pentoxifylline and vitamin K antagonists. (Pentoxifylline label, Drug interactions)

  • Propylthiouracilantithyroid drugModerate

    Drug Interactions Anticoagulants (oral): Due to the potential inhibition of vitamin K activity by propylthiouracil, the activity of oral anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin) may be increased; additional monitoring of PT/INR should be considered, especially before surgical procedures. (Propylthiouracil label, Drug interactions)

  • RivaroxabananticoagulantModerate

    Anticoagulants Phytonadione injectable emulsion may induce temporary resistance to prothrombin-depressing anticoagulants, especially when larger doses of phytonadione injectable emulsion are used. (Phytonadione (vitamin K1) label, Drug interactions)

  • TestosteroneandrogenModerate

    Oral Vitamin K Antagonist Anticoagulants Changes in anticoagulant activity may be seen with androgens; therefore, more frequent monitoring of international normalized ratio (INR) and prothrombin time are recommended in patients taking warfarin, especially at the initiation and termination of androgen therapy. (Testosterone label, Drug interactions)

  • WarfarinanticoagulantModerate

    Anticoagulants Phytonadione injectable emulsion may induce temporary resistance to prothrombin-depressing anticoagulants, especially when larger doses of phytonadione injectable emulsion are used. (Phytonadione (vitamin K1) label, Drug interactions)

  • PrimidoneanticonvulsantMinor

    Neonatal hemorrhage, with a coagulation defect resembling vitamin K deficiency, has been described in newborns whose mothers were taking primidone and other anticonvulsants. (Primidone label, Warnings)

  • Vitamin KVitamin and mineralMinor

    Cutaneous Reactions Parenteral administration of vitamin K replacements (including phytonadione injectable emulsion) may cause cutaneous reactions. (Phytonadione (vitamin K1) label, Warnings and precautions)
