Disease interactions

6 potential interactions Applies to: 5 conditions, including Prosthetic Heart Valves - Thrombosis Prophylaxis, Liver Disease, Bleeding Disorder, Mitral Stenosis, and Antiphospholipid syndrome.

Antiphospholipid syndrome

Moderate:

Eliquis

The apixaban in Eliquis 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.

Bleeding Disorder

Major:

Eliquis

The apixaban in Eliquis 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.

Liver Disease

Moderate:

Eliquis

The apixaban in Eliquis has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.

The use of factor Xa inhibitors (including apixaban and edoxaban) is not recommended in patients with moderate or severe liver dysfunction (Child-Pugh B or C) as these patients may have intrinsic coagulation abnormalities.

Moderate:

etravirine

Etravirine has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.

Etravirine is primarily metabolized by the liver. No dose adjustment of etravirine is required in patients with mild (Child-Pugh Class A) or moderate (Child-Pugh Class B) hepatic impairment. Caution is recommended when using this agent in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class C) as the pharmacokinetics of etravirine have not been evaluated in these patients.

Mitral Stenosis

Moderate:

Eliquis

The apixaban in Eliquis 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.

Prosthetic Heart Valves - Thrombosis Prophylaxis

Moderate:

Eliquis

The apixaban in Eliquis 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.
