Gastrointestinal Obstruction

Major:

Colace

The docusate in Colace has a major potential interaction with Gastrointestinal Obstruction.

The use of laxatives is contraindicated in patients with intestinal obstruction disorders. Patients with intestinal obstruction disorders may need their underlying condition treated to correct the constipation. Some laxatives require reduction in the colon to their active form to be effective which may be a problem in patients with intestinal obstruction.

History, Thrombotic/Thromboembolic Disorder

Moderate:

avatrombopag

Avatrombopag has a moderate potential interaction with History, Thrombotic/Thromboembolic Disorder.

Thromboembolic complications may result from increases in platelet counts with TPO receptor agonists such as avatrombopag, lusutrombopag, and eltrombopag. Consider the potential for increased risk of thromboembolism when administering these medications to patients with known risk factors for thromboembolism, including genetic prothrombotic conditions (Factor V Leiden, Prothrombin 20210 A, Antithrombin deficiency or Protein C or S deficiency).

Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Major:

Colace

The docusate in Colace has a major potential interaction with Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

The use of laxatives is contraindicated in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Patients with inflammatory bowel disease may experience colonic perforation with use of stimulant laxatives.

Protein C Deficiency

Moderate:

avatrombopag

Avatrombopag has a moderate potential interaction with Protein C Deficiency.

Thromboembolic complications may result from increases in platelet counts with TPO receptor agonists such as avatrombopag, lusutrombopag, and eltrombopag. Consider the potential for increased risk of thromboembolism when administering these medications to patients with known risk factors for thromboembolism, including genetic prothrombotic conditions (Factor V Leiden, Prothrombin 20210 A, Antithrombin deficiency or Protein C or S deficiency).

Renal Dysfunction

Moderate:

avatrombopag

Avatrombopag has a moderate potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.

The effect of severe renal impairment (CrCl < 30 mL/min) including patients requiring hemodialysis on avatrombopag pharmacokinetics is unknown. Caution and monitoring is advised.

Thrombotic/Thromboembolic Disorder

Moderate:

avatrombopag

Avatrombopag has a moderate potential interaction with Thrombotic/Thromboembolic Disorder.

Thromboembolic complications may result from increases in platelet counts with TPO receptor agonists such as avatrombopag, lusutrombopag, and eltrombopag. Consider the potential for increased risk of thromboembolism when administering these medications to patients with known risk factors for thromboembolism, including genetic prothrombotic conditions (Factor V Leiden, Prothrombin 20210 A, Antithrombin deficiency or Protein C or S deficiency).
