Interactions between your drugs

Minor

dexAMETHasone ticlopidine

Applies to: Adrenocot LA (dexamethasone) and ticlopidine

Limited data have shown that corticosteroids may significantly decrease ticlopidine-induced prolongations in bleeding times. The mechanism may be related to corticosteroid induced peripheral vasoconstriction as limited data have shown that corticosteroids do not affect ADP-mediated platelet aggregation in patients who are taking therapeutic doses of ticlopidine. The clinical relevance of this interaction is unknown, although it is suggested by some experts that systemic corticosteroids could be used prior to emergency surgery in patients who are taking ticlopidine. It is unknown whether the risk of thrombosis is increased in patients who are taking both drugs. More data are needed.

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.
