Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

oxaprozin clopidogrel

Applies to: Coxanto (oxaprozin) and clopidogrel

MONITOR: The coadministration of clopidogrel with naproxen resulted in occult gastrointestinal blood loss in healthy volunteers. The mechanism has not been described, but may be due to additive platelet inhibition. The coadministration of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and clopidogrel should be undertaken with extreme caution. Additionally, some NSAIDs are substrates for the CYP450 isoenzyme 2C9. Clopidogrel inhibits this isoenzyme and therefore may lead to decreased metabolism of these NSAIDs. The clinical magnitude of this interaction is not known.

MANAGEMENT: Close observation for increased NSAID toxicity is recommended if these agents are coadministered with clopidogrel. Patients should also be advised to promptly report any signs of GI bleeding to their caregiver, including pain, swelling, dizziness, weakness, bloody or coffee-ground emesis, or red or black stools, and to avoid any over-the-counter NSAID products.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

oxaprozin food

Applies to: Coxanto (oxaprozin)

GENERALLY AVOID: The concurrent use of aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and ethanol may lead to gastrointestinal (GI) blood loss. The mechanism may be due to a combined local effect as well as inhibition of prostaglandins leading to decreased integrity of the GI lining.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should be counseled on this potential interaction and advised to refrain from alcohol consumption while taking aspirin or NSAIDs.

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.
