warfarin ⇔ atorvastatin
Applies to: warfarin and Lipitor (atorvastatin)
The manufacturer reports that atorvastatin had no clinically significant effect on prothrombin time when given to patients also receiving chronic warfarin therapy. The clinical utility of the lack of this interaction has not been fully evaluated, and caution should still be exercised if these drugs are coadministered. Lovastatin has been shown to alter the hypoprothrombinemic response to warfarin. Theoretically, no interaction should occur with other oral anticoagulants and atorvastatin, although data is lacking.
