Eptifibatide Disease Interactions

There are 2 disease interactions with eptifibatide.

Major

Eptifibatide (applies to eptifibatide) renal dysfunction

Major Potential Hazard, High plausibility.

The use of eptifibatide is contraindicated in patients dependent of dialysis. Approximately 50% of eptifibatide is cleared by the kidney in patients with normal renal function. Total drug clearance is decreased by approximately 50% and steady-state plasma eptifibatide concentrations are doubled in patients with an estimated CrCl <50 mL/min. Therefore, the infusion dose should be reduced to 1 mcg/kg/min in such patients Clinical monitoring of renal function is recommended.

Major

GpIIb/IIIa platelet inhibitors (applies to eptifibatide) bleeding risks

Major Potential Hazard, High plausibility. Applicable conditions: Brain/Intracranial Tumor, Thrombocytopathy, Cerebral Vascular Disorder, Hypertension, Coagulation Defect, Thrombocytopenia

The use of gp11b/111a platelet inhibitors is contraindicated in patients with active internal bleeding, recent significant gastrointestinal or genitourinary bleeding (within 6 weeks), recent trauma or major surgery (within 6 weeks), history of bleeding diathesis, recent stroke (within 4 weeks), history of hemorrhage stroke or residual neurologic deficit, intracranial defect (aneurysm, arteriovenous malformation, neoplasm), uncontrolled hypertension (SBP > 180; DBP > 110), or thrombocytopenia (<100,000/mm3). Thrombocytopenia, serious GI/GU bleeding, hemorrhagic retinopathy, and bleeding at the arterial access have been reported during gp11b/111a platelet inhibitor therapy. Clinical monitoring of hemoglobin and hematocrit (H/H), platelet count, prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial prothrombin time (aPTT) is recommended prior to initiation of, during and following gp11b/111a platelet inhibitor therapy.

Drug Interaction Classification

These classifications are only a guideline. The relevance of a particular drug interaction to a specific individual is difficult to determine. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medication.
Major Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.
Moderate Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances.
Minor Minimally clinically significant. Minimize risk; assess risk and consider an alternative drug, take steps to circumvent the interaction risk and/or institute a monitoring plan.
Unknown No interaction information available.
