एपिक्साबैन और एरिथ्रोमाइसिन का इंटरैक्शन

For patients receiving ELIQUIS at a dose of 2.5 mg twice daily, avoid coadministration with combined P-gp and strong CYP3A4 inhibitors [see Dosage and Administration (2.6) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] .

• Combined P-gp and strong CYP3A4 inhibitors increase blood levels of apixaban.

Combined P-gp and Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors For patients receiving ELIQUIS 5 mg or 10 mg twice daily, the dose of ELIQUIS should be decreased by 50% when coadministered with drugs that are combined P-gp and strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, itraconazole, ritonavir) [see Dosage and Administration (2.6) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] .

Concomitant use with drugs that are combined P-gp and strong CYP3A4 inhibitors increases exposure to apixaban [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] which increases the risk for bleeding.

Concomitant administration of combined P-gp and strong CYP3A4 inhibitors has not been studied in pediatric patients.

There have been reports of increased anticoagulant effects when erythromycin and oral anticoagulants were used concomitantly.

Increased anticoagulation effects due to interactions of erythromycin with oral anticoagulants may be more pronounced in the elderly.
