Thrombin inhibitors (applies to dabigatran) active bleeding
Major Potential Hazard, High plausibility. Applicable conditions: Coagulation Defect
The use of thrombin inhibitors is contraindicated in the presence of active major bleeding. Additionally, these drugs should be used with caution in patients with disease states associated with an increased risk of bleeding.
Dabigatran (applies to dabigatran) renal impairment
Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility. Applicable conditions: Renal Dysfunction
The anticoagulant activity and half-life of dabigatran may increase in patients with renal impairment. It is recommended to decrease the dose in patients with severe renal impairment (CrCl 15-30 mL/min). No dose adjustment is recommended in patients with mild or moderate renal impairment. Dosing recommendations for patients with CrCl <15 mL/min or on dialysis has not been established. Care should be exercised when using this agent in patients with renal impairment or on dialysis.
