Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

verteporfin betrixaban

Applies to: verteporfin and betrixaban

MONITOR: Drugs that decrease clotting, vasoconstriction, or platelet aggregation may interfere with the therapeutic effect of verteporfin. These agents may antagonize the physiologic responses to local damage of neovascular endothelium induced by activated verteporfin, which include the release of procoagulant and vasoactive factors that result in vessel occlusion. However, the clinical significance is unknown.

MANAGEMENT: If possible, agents such as anticoagulants, thrombolytics, platelet inhibitors, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, ginkgo, dong quai, and vasodilators should be discontinued prior to verteporfin therapy. Otherwise, the potential for diminished efficacy of verteporfin should be considered.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

betrixaban food

Applies to: betrixaban

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food reduces the oral bioavailability of betrixaban. When administered with a low-fat (900 calories; 20% fat) or high-fat (900 calories; 60% fat) meal, betrixaban peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) decreased relative to administration in the fasting state by an average of 70% and 61%, respectively, with the low-fat meal and 50% and 48%, respectively, with the high-fat meal. The effect of food on betrixaban pharmacokinetics could be observed for up to 6 hours after meal intake.

MANAGEMENT: The manufacturer recommends taking betrixaban at the same time each day with food.

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.
