- plasminogen, human
Drug interactions
Major drug interactions
Major:clopidogrel plasminogen, human
Applies to: clopidogrel, plasminogen, human
Using plasminogen, human together with clopidogrel may increase the risk of bleeding.
Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Your doctor may already be aware of the risks but has determined that this is the best course of treatment for you and has taken appropriate precautions and is monitoring you closely for any potential complications.
You should seek immediate medical attention if you experience any unusual bleeding or bruising or have other signs and symptoms of bleeding such as:
- dizziness
- lightheadedness
- red or black, tarry stools
- coughing up or vomiting fresh or dried blood that looks like coffee grounds
- severe headache
- weakness
It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
Food/lifestyle interactions
No alcohol/food interactions were found with the drugs in your list. However, this does not necessarily mean no food interactions exist. Always consult your healthcare provider.
Disease interactions
3 potential interactionsApplies to: 3 conditions, including Liver Disease, Bleeding Disorder, and Renal Dysfunction.
Bleeding Disorder
Major:clopidogrel
Clopidogrel has a major potential interaction with Bleeding Disorder.
Clopidogrel is contraindicated in patients with active pathological bleeding such as peptic ulcer or intracranial hemorrhage.
Liver Disease
Moderate:clopidogrel
Clopidogrel has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.
The pharmacokinetic disposition of clopidogrel in patients with liver disease has not been established. Clopidogrel undergoes biotransformation to an active metabolite that has not yet been isolated and an inactive form that represents approximately 85% of circulating clopidogrel. The metabolic and therapeutic activity of clopidogrel may be altered in patients with hepatic impairment and should be administered cautiously in patients with severe hepatic dysfunction. Clinical monitoring of hepatic function and bleeding activity is recommended.
Renal Dysfunction
Minor:clopidogrel
Clopidogrel has a minor potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.
Clopidogrel is partially eliminated by the kidney. Approximately 50% of clopidogrel is excreted in the urine and 45% in the feces. Plasma concentrations of the inactive metabolite and the degree of platelet inhibition are reduced in patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance of 5-15 mL/min). However, bleeding times in patients with severe renal impairment did not differ from those with normal renal function. No dosage adjustment is recommended for patients with compromised renal function.

Drug Interaction Classification
| Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit. | |
| Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances. | |
| 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. | |
| No interaction information available. |
