Apiksaban ve Simetidin etkileşimi

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.

Drug Interactions Cimetidine tablets, apparently through an effect on certain microsomal enzyme systems, has been reported to reduce the hepatic metabolism of warfarin-type anticoagulants, phenytoin, propranolol, nifedipine, chlordiazepoxide, diazepam, certain tricyclic antidepressants, lidocaine, theophylline, and metronidazole, thereby delaying elimination…

Clinically significant effects have been reported with the warfarin anticoagulants; therefore, close monitoring of prothrombin time is recommended, and adjustment of the anticoagulant dose may be necessary when cimetidine tablets are administered concomitantly.
