एप्टिफिबाटाइड और हेपरिन का इंटरैक्शन

Platelet Inhibitors Drugs such as acetylsalicylic acid, dextran, phenylbutazone, ibuprofen, indomethacin, dipyridamole, hydroxychloroquine and others that interfere with platelet-aggregation reactions (the main hemostatic defense of heparinized patients) may induce bleeding and should be used with caution in patients receiving heparin sodium.

If heparin is given concomitantly, monitor aPTT or ACT.

In patients treated with heparin, bleeding can be minimized by close monitoring of the aPTT and ACT [see Dosage and Administration ( 2 )] .

If bleeding at access site cannot be controlled with pressure, infusion of eptifibatide injection and heparin should be discontinued immediately.

In the event of acute profound thrombocytopenia or a confirmed platelet decrease to <100,000/mm 3 , discontinue eptifibatide injection and heparin (unfractionated or low-molecular weight).

Coadministration of antiplatelet agents, thrombolytics, heparin, aspirin, and chronic NSAID use increases the risk of bleeding.
