Can you take Cymbalta with Rivaroxaban?

Rivaroxaban has a moderate potential interaction with Antiphospholipid syndrome.

Direct acting oral anticoagulants including factor Xa inhibitors and some thrombin inhibitors as dabigatran, are not recommended for use in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). Treatment with these drugs has been associated with increased rates of recurrent thrombotic events, especially in patients with triple positive APS.

The DULoxetine in Cymbalta has a major potential interaction with Bipolar Disorder.

Adult and pediatric patients with depression and other psychiatric disorders may experience worsening of their symptoms and may have the emergence of suicidal thoughts and behavior. Patients should be monitored appropriately and observed closely for worsening of their symptoms, suicidality or changes in their behavior, especially during the first few months of treatment, and at times of dose changes. Discontinuing the medication should be considered if symptoms are persistently worse, or abrupt in onset. It may be prudent to refrain from dispensing large quantities of medication to these patients.

The DULoxetine in Cymbalta has a moderate potential interaction with Bipolar Disorder.

Therapy with SNRI antidepressants can cause activation of mania and hypomania and should be used with caution in patients with personal or family history of mania, hypomania, bipolar disorder, and other mood disorders.

Rivaroxaban has a major potential interaction with Bleeding Disorder.

The use of factor Xa inhibitors is contraindicated in patients with active pathological bleeding as these agents increase the risk of bleeding and can cause serious or fatal hemorrhages. Caution is recommended when prescribing factor Xa inhibitors to patients at increased risk of bleeding, including patients undergoing procedures where bleeding may cause serious complications. Such patients include those undergoing spinal/epidural anesthesia or spinal puncture; these patients are at high risk of an epidural or spinal hematoma, which can result in long-term or permanent paralysis. In general, when using factor Xa inhibitors, the risk of thrombotic events should be weighed against the risk of bleeding.

The DULoxetine in Cymbalta has a moderate potential interaction with Dehydration.

Treatment with SNRI antidepressants can cause hyponatremia. Caution should be used when treating patients with hyponatremia or at greater risk of hyponatremia such as the elderly, patients taking diuretics or who are volume depleted.

The DULoxetine in Cymbalta has a major potential interaction with Depression.

Adult and pediatric patients with depression and other psychiatric disorders may experience worsening of their symptoms and may have the emergence of suicidal thoughts and behavior. Patients should be monitored appropriately and observed closely for worsening of their symptoms, suicidality or changes in their behavior, especially during the first few months of treatment, and at times of dose changes. Discontinuing the medication should be considered if symptoms are persistently worse, or abrupt in onset. It may be prudent to refrain from dispensing large quantities of medication to these patients.

The DULoxetine in Cymbalta has a moderate potential interaction with Diabetes Mellitus.

In clinical trials, treatment with duloxetine delayed-release worsened the glycemic control in some patients with diabetes. Caution should be used when using duloxetine in diabetic patients and their glycemic levels should be checked regularly.

The DULoxetine in Cymbalta has a moderate potential interaction with Glaucoma, Narrow Angle.

SNRI antidepressants cause pupillary dilation that may trigger an angle closure attack in patients with anatomically narrow angle without iridectomy.

The DULoxetine in Cymbalta has a moderate potential interaction with High Blood Pressure.

Selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor antidepressants (SNRIs) have been associated with sustained increases in blood pressure. Therapy with SNRI antidepressants should be administered cautiously in patients with preexisting hypertension. Blood pressure should be assessed prior to initiating treatment and monitored regularly. The dose should be reduced or discontinued if necessary.

The DULoxetine in Cymbalta has a moderate potential interaction with Hyponatremia.

Treatment with SNRI antidepressants can cause hyponatremia. Caution should be used when treating patients with hyponatremia or at greater risk of hyponatremia such as the elderly, patients taking diuretics or who are volume depleted.

Rivaroxaban has a moderate potential interaction with Hypotension.

Initiation of rivaroxaban is not recommended acutely as an alternative to unfractionated heparin in patients with pulmonary embolism who present with hemodynamic instability or who may receive thrombolysis or pulmonary embolectomy.

The DULoxetine in Cymbalta has a major potential interaction with Liver Disease.

Postmarketing studies have reported that duloxetine and some other SNRIs like milnacipran may aggravate preexisting liver disease. The use of duloxetine delayed-release and milnacipran should be avoided in patients with chronic liver disease or cirrhosis.

Rivaroxaban has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.

The use of rivaroxaban should be avoided in patients with moderate and severe liver dysfunction (Child-Pugh B and C) or with any liver disease associated with coagulopathy as drug exposure and bleeding risk may be increased.

The DULoxetine in Cymbalta has a moderate potential interaction with Mania.

Therapy with SNRI antidepressants can cause activation of mania and hypomania and should be used with caution in patients with personal or family history of mania, hypomania, bipolar disorder, and other mood disorders.

Rivaroxaban has a moderate potential interaction with Mitral Stenosis.

The use of some factor Xa inhibitors (including apixaban, edoxaban, and rivaroxaban) is not recommended in patients with prosthetic heart valves; safety and efficacy have not been established in such patients.

Rivaroxaban has a moderate potential interaction with Prosthetic Heart Valves - Thrombosis Prophylaxis.

The use of some factor Xa inhibitors (including apixaban, edoxaban, and rivaroxaban) is not recommended in patients with prosthetic heart valves; safety and efficacy have not been established in such patients.

The DULoxetine in Cymbalta has a major potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.

The use of duloxetine should be avoided in patients with severe renal impairment (GFR <30 mL/min).

Rivaroxaban has a moderate potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.

For most indications, rivaroxaban exposure and pharmacodynamic effects are increased in patients with CrCl less than 30 mL/min compared to patients with normal renal function; these indications include treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), treatment of pulmonary embolism (PE), reduction in the risk of recurrence of DVT and/or PE, prophylaxis of DVT after hip/knee replacement surgery, and prophylaxis of venous thromboembolism in acutely ill medical patients at risk for thromboembolic complications not at high risk of bleeding. Limited clinical data are available in patients with CrCl 15 to less than 30 mL/min, and there are no clinical data in patients with CrCl less than 15 mL/min (including those on dialysis). Patients with CrCl 15 to less than 30 mL/min should be observed closely and any signs/symptoms of blood loss should be evaluated promptly; use of rivaroxaban should be avoided in patients with CrCl less than 15 mL/min (including those on dialysis). This drug should be discontinued in patients who develop acute renal failure while on treatment.

In patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation, renal function should be periodically assessed, as clinically indicated (i.e., more often in situations in which renal function may decline), and therapy should be adjusted accordingly; dose adjustment or discontinuation of rivaroxaban should be considered in patients who develop acute renal failure during therapy.

In patients with coronary artery disease or peripheral artery disease, no dose adjustment is needed based on CrCl.

The DULoxetine in Cymbalta has a moderate potential interaction with Seizures.

SNRI antidepressants may trigger seizures and should be administered with caution in patients with a seizure disorder.

The DULoxetine in Cymbalta has a moderate potential interaction with Urinary Tract Infection.
