Moderate

dexAMETHasone rivaroxaban

Applies to: LoCort (dexamethasone) and Xarelto (rivaroxaban)

MONITOR: Coadministration with inducers of CYP450 3A4 and/or P-glycoprotein (P-gp) may decrease the plasma concentrations of rivaroxaban, which is a substrate of the isoenzyme as well as the efflux transporter. In a pharmacokinetic study, administration of a single 20 mg dose of rivaroxaban with the potent CYP450 3A4 and P-gp inducer rifampin (titrated up to 600 mg once daily) resulted in approximately 22% and 50% decreases in mean rivaroxaban peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and system exposure (AUC), respectively, with parallel decreases in its pharmacodynamic effects. The effects of less potent inducers of either CYP450 3A4 or P-gp have not been studied.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if rivaroxaban is used in combination with inducers of CYP450 3A4 and/or P-glycoprotein. Pharmacologic effects of rivaroxaban should be monitored more closely whenever the inducer is added to or withdrawn from therapy.

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.
