Drug Interaction	Drug Names
Ketorolac/Anticoagulants SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: The exact mechanism is unknown. Ketorolac impairs platelet function and may prolong bleeding time.(1) Ketorolac also has the potential to produce gastrointestinal ulceration and bleeding.(1-3) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of ketorolac and anticoagulants may increase the risk of bleeding complications.(1-3) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: The risk for bleeding episodes may be greater in patients with disease-associated factors (e.g. thrombocytopenia). Drug associated risk factors include concurrent use of multiple drugs which inhibit anticoagulant/antiplatelet metabolism and/or have an inherent risk for bleeding (e.g. NSAIDs). PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The Australian(1) and UK(2) manufacturers of ketorolac state that the use of ketorolac in patients on anticoagulants, including low-dose heparin,(2) is contraindicated. The US manufacturer of ketorolac states that concurrent therapy with anticoagulants should be undertaken with extreme caution after carefully weighing the benefits of concurrent therapy against the risks and that patients receiving concurrent therapy should be closely monitored.(3) If concurrent therapy is warranted, monitor patients receiving concurrent therapy for signs of blood loss, including decreased hemoglobin, hematocrit, fecal occult blood, and/or decreased blood pressure and promptly evaluate patients with any symptoms. When applicable, perform agent-specific laboratory test (e.g. INR, aPTT) to monitor efficacy and safety of anticoagulation. Discontinue anticoagulation in patients with active pathologic bleeding. Instruct patients to report any signs and symptoms of bleeding, such as unusual bleeding from the gums or nose; unusual bruising; red or black, tarry stools; red, pink or dark brown urine; acute abdominal or joint pain and/or swelling. The time of highest risk for a coumarin-type drug interaction is when the precipitant drug is initiated or discontinued. Contact the prescriber before initiating, altering the dose or discontinuing either drug. DISCUSSION: Ketorolac has been shown to inhibit platelet aggregation and may prolong bleeding times. Ketorolac-induced inhibition of platelet function disappears within 24 to 48 hours after ketorolac discontinuation. Ketorolac does not affect platelet count, prothrombin time (PT), or partial thromboplastin time (PTT).(1) Ketorolac has been shown in vitro to only slightly reduce warfarin protein binding (from 99.5% to 99.3%.(3) In a study in 12 subjects, ketorolac had no effects on the pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics of a single dose of warfarin (25 mg). In another study in 11 subjects, ketorolac increased the mean template bleeding time for 2 doses of heparin from 6.0 to 6.4 minutes.(3)	BUPIVACAINE-KETOROLAC-KETAMINE, KETOROLAC TROMETHAMINE, ROPIVACAINE-KETOROLAC-KETAMINE, SPRIX, TORONOVA II SUIK, TORONOVA SUIK
Dextroamphetamine Transdermal/Urinary Alkalinizers SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Urinary alkalinizers decrease the renal elimination of dextroamphetamine.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of dextroamphetamine and urinary alkalinizers may result in increased dextroamphetamine levels and side effects. PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Coadministration of dextroamphetamine with urinary alkalinizing agents should be avoided.(1) DISCUSSION: Concurrent use of alkalinizing agents with dextroamphetamine decreases the renal elimination of dextroamphetamine. Co-administration of these should be avoided because of the potential of increased actions of dextroamphetamine.(1)	XELSTRYM
Lecanemab/Anticoagulants SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Microhemorrhage has been reported with the use of lecanemab. Radiographic changes on brain MRI have been noted as amyloid related imaging abnormalities-hemosiderin deposition (ARIA-H) which included microhemorrhage. In addition, intracerebral hemorrhages (ICH) greater than 1 cm in diameter have occurred in patients treated with lecanemab.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of lecanemab with anticoagulants agents may increase the risk of hemorrhage.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: The risk for bleeding episodes may be greater in patients with disease-associated factors (e.g. thrombocytopenia). Drug associated risk factors include concurrent use of multiple drugs which inhibit anticoagulant/antiplatelet metabolism and/or have an inherent risk for bleeding (e.g. NSAIDs). PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The US manufacturer of lecanemab advises extreme caution in patients treated with anticoagulants. Evaluate the risks and benefits of concurrent use of lecanemab with anticoagulants.(1) Appropriate use recommendations for lecanemab state patients on anticoagulants should not receive lecanemab.(2) The UK manufacturer of lecanemab contraindicates initiation of lecanemab in patients receiving ongoing anticoagulant therapy. If anticoagulation is necessary, then lecanemab should be paused. Lecanemab can be reinstated if anticoagulation is no longer medically indicated.(3) If concurrent therapy is warranted, patients should be closely monitored for signs and symptoms of microhemorrhage, including headache, nausea/vomiting, confusion, dizziness, visual disturbance, gait difficulties, and loss of coordination, as well as other bleeding and changes in platelet count or International Normalized Ratio (INR).(1) When applicable, perform agent-specific laboratory tests (e.g. INR, aPTT) to monitor efficacy and safety of anticoagulation. Discontinue anticoagulation in patients with active pathologic bleeding. Instruct patients to report any signs and symptoms of bleeding, such as confusion, headache, dizziness, nausea, visual changes, unusual bleeding from the gums or nose; unusual bruising; red or black, tarry stools; red, pink or dark brown urine; acute abdominal or joint pain and/or swelling. DISCUSSION: In clinical studies, lecanemab was observed to increase ARIA-H, including microhemorrhage and intracerebral hemorrhage. Radiographic changes were classified as mild (<=4 new incidences), moderate (5 to 9 new incidences), or severe (10 or more new incidences. Patients were excluded from clinical trials if taking concurrent anticoagulants or anti-platelets.(1) In Studies 1 and 2, the maximum severity of ARIA-H microhemorrhage was mild in 9% (79/898), moderate in 2% (19/898), and severe in 3% (28/898) of patients. Intracerebral hemorrhage greater than 1 cm in diameter was reported in 0.7% (6/898) of patients in Study 2 after treatment with lecanemab compared to 0.1% (1/897) on placebo. Fatal events of intracerebral hemorrhage in patients taking lecanemab have been observed.(1) In Study 2, baseline use of antithrombotic medications (aspirin, other antiplatelets, or anticoagulants) were allowed if patient was on a stable dose. Aspirin was the most common antithrombotic agent. The incidence of ICH was 0.9% (3/328 patients) in patients taking lecanemab with a concomitant antithrombotic medication at the time of the event compared to 0.6% (3/545 patients) in those who did not receive an antithrombotic. Patients taking lecanemab with an anticoagulant alone or combined with an antiplatelet medication or aspirin had an incidence of intracerebral hemorrhage of 2.5% (2/79 patients) compared to none in patients who received placebo.

Donanemab/Anticoagulants SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Microhemorrhage has been reported with the use of donanemab. Radiographic changes on brain MRI have been noted as amyloid related imaging abnormalities-hemosiderin deposition (ARIA-H) which included microhemorrhage. In addition, intracerebral hemorrhages (ICH) greater than 1 cm in diameter have occurred in patients treated with donanemab.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of donanemab with anticoagulants agents may increase the risk of hemorrhage.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: The risk for bleeding episodes may be greater in patients with disease-associated factors (e.g. thrombocytopenia). Drug associated risk factors include concurrent use of multiple drugs which inhibit anticoagulant/antiplatelet metabolism and/or have an inherent risk for bleeding (e.g. NSAIDs). PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Donanemab should be used with extreme caution in patients treated with anticoagulants. Evaluate the risks and benefits of concurrent use of donanemab with anticoagulants.(1) The manufacturer of donanemab recommends testing for AP0E4 status prior to initiation of treatment.(1) Use of anticoagulant agents in patients who are homozygous for the APOE4 gene, may have an increased risk of ARIA with donanemab therapy.(1-3) If concurrent therapy is warranted, patients receiving concurrent therapy with donanemab and anticoagulants should be closely monitored for signs and symptoms of bleeding and changes in platelet count or International Normalized Ratio (INR).(1) If concurrent therapy is warranted, monitor patients receiving concurrent therapy for signs of microhemorrhage, including headache, nausea/vomiting, confusion, dizziness, visual disturbance, gait difficulties, and loss of coordination. General signs of blood loss include decreased hemoglobin, hematocrit, fecal occult blood, and/or decreased blood pressure and promptly evaluate patients with any symptoms. When applicable, perform agent-specific laboratory tests (e.g. INR, aPTT) to monitor efficacy and safety of anticoagulation. Discontinue anticoagulation in patients with active pathologic bleeding. Instruct patients to report any signs and symptoms of bleeding, such as confusion, headache, dizziness, nausea, visual changes, unusual bleeding from the gums or nose; unusual bruising; red or black, tarry stools; red, pink or dark brown urine; acute abdominal or joint pain and/or swelling. DISCUSSION: In a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study of 1736 participants randomized to receive donanemab (n = 860) or placebo (n = 876), donanemab was observed to increase amyloid related imaging abnormalities-hemosiderin deposition (ARIA-H), including microhemorrhage and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Radiographic changes were classified as mild (<=4 new incidences), moderate (5 to 9 new incidences), or severe (10 or more new incidences). The maximum severity of ARIA-H microhemorrhage was observed as mild in 17% (143/853), moderate in 4% (34/853), and severe in 5% (40/853) of patients taking donanemab.(1) Baseline use of antithrombotic medication (aspirin, other antiplatelets, or anticoagulants) was allowed. The majority of exposures to antithrombotic medications were to aspirin. The incidence of ARIA-H was 30% (106/349) in patients taking donanemab with a concomitant antithrombotic medication within 30 days compared to 29% (148/504) who did not receive an antithrombotic within 30 days of an ARIA-H event.(1) The incidence of ICH greater than 1 cm in diameter was 0.6% (2/349 patients) in patients taking donanemab with a concomitant antithrombotic medication compared to 0.4% (2/504) in those who did not receive an antithrombotic. One fatal ICH occurred in a patient taking donanemab in the setting of focal neurologic symptoms of ARIA and the use of a thrombolytic agent.(1) The manufacturer of donanemab states the number of events and the limited exposure to non-aspirin antithrombotic medications limit definitive conclusions about the risk of ARIA or ICH in patients taking antithrombotic medications concurrently with donanemab. If concurrent therapy is warranted, patients should be closely monitored for signs and symptoms of bleeding and changes in platelet count or INR.(1)	KISUNLA

There are 4 moderate interactions. The clinician should assess the patient’s characteristics and take action as needed. Actions required for moderate interactions include, but are not limited to, discontinuing one or both agents, adjusting dosage, altering administration.

Drug Interaction	Drug Names
Heparins/Selected Anticoagulants (Vitamin K antagonists); Citrates SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Heparin inhibits thrombosis by inactivating activated Factor X and inhibiting the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of anticoagulants with heparin can enhance the effects of heparin and may increase the risk of bleeding.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: The risk for bleeding episodes may be greater in patients with disease-associated factors (e.g. thrombocytopenia). Drug associated risk factors include concurrent use of multiple drugs which inhibit anticoagulant/antiplatelet metabolism and/or have an inherent risk for bleeding (e.g. NSAIDs). PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The manufacturer recommends baseline and periodic platelet counts and hematocrits for the entire duration of heparin administration.(1) Monitor patients receiving concurrent therapy for signs of blood loss, including decreased hemoglobin and/or hematocrit, fecal occult blood, and/or blood pressure and promptly evaluate patients with any symptoms. Discontinue heparin in patients with active pathological bleeding unless the benefits outweigh the potential risk.(1) Partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) or whole-blood clotting time (WBC) may be monitored to assess coagulation status.(1) Instruct patients to report any signs and symptoms of bleeding, such as unusual bleeding from the gums or nose; unusual bruising; red or black, tarry stools; red, pink or dark brown urine; acute abdominal or joint pain and/or swelling. DISCUSSION: A study of the use of heparin and warfarin in DVT patients concluded that it is safe to use heparin in combination with warfarin(2) with proper monitoring.

Icosapent Ethyl/Anticoagulant;Antiplatelet;Thrombolytic SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: In vitro data suggests that fish oils can competitively inhibit cyclooxygenase which decreases synthesis of thromboxane A1 leading to a decrease in platelet aggregation.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of anticoagulant, antiplatelet, or thrombolytic agents increase bleeding risks. PREDISPOSING FACTORS: The risk for bleeding episodes may be greater in patients with disease-associated factors (e.g. thrombocytopenia). Drug associated risk factors include concurrent use of multiple drugs which inhibit anticoagulant/antiplatelet metabolism and/or have an inherent risk for bleeding (e.g. NSAIDs). PATIENT MANAGEMENT: If concurrent therapy is deemed medically necessary, monitor patients receiving concurrent therapy for signs of blood loss, including decreased hemoglobin, hematocrit, fecal occult blood, and/or decreased blood pressure and promptly evaluate patients with any symptoms. When applicable, perform agent-specific laboratory tests (e.g. INR, aPTT) to monitor efficacy and safety of anticoagulation. Discontinue anticoagulation in patients with active pathologic bleeding. Instruct patients to report any signs and symptoms of bleeding, such as unusual bleeding from the gums or nose; unusual bruising; red or black, tarry stools; red, pink or dark brown urine; acute abdominal or joint pain and/or swelling. The time of highest risk for a coumarin-type drug interaction is when the precipitant drug is initiated or discontinued. Contact the prescriber before initiating, altering the dose or discontinuing either drug. DISCUSSION: Specific studies with icosapent ethyl and affects on bleeding risk have not been conducted. Concurrent use of anticoagulant, antiplatelet, or thrombolytic agents may increase bleeding risks by impairing platelet function and prolonging bleeding time.(1) Several case reports have shown increased bleeding time and an increased risk of adverse effects from concurrent therapy.(2,3,4) A randomized placebo controlled study of 40 people taking omega-3 fatty acids and oral anticoagulants showed a significant prolongation in bleeding time.(5)	ICOSAPENT ETHYL, VASCEPA
Tisotumab/Anticoagulants; Antiplatelets SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Bleeding, including hemorrhage, has been reported with the use of tisotumab.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of tisotumab with either anticoagulants, antiplatelets, or NSAIDs may increase the risk of hemorrhage.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: The risk for bleeding episodes may be greater in patients with disease-associated factors (e.g. thrombocytopenia). Drug associated risk factors include concurrent use of multiple drugs which inhibit anticoagulant/antiplatelet metabolism and/or have an inherent risk for bleeding (e.g. NSAIDs). PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Patients receiving concurrent therapy with tisotumab and anticoagulants, antiplatelets, and/or NSAIDs should be closely monitored for signs and symptoms of bleeding and changes in platelet count or International Normalized Ratio (INR). For patients experiencing pulmonary or central nervous system (CNS) hemorrhage, permanently discontinue tisotumab. For grade 2 or greater hemorrhage in any other location, withhold until bleeding has resolved, blood hemoglobin is stable, there is no bleeding diathesis that could increase the risk of continuing therapy, and there is no anatomical or pathologic condition that can increase the risk of hemorrhage. After resolution, either resume treatment or permanently discontinue tisotumab.(1) If concurrent therapy is warranted, monitor patients receiving concurrent therapy for signs of blood loss, including decreased hemoglobin, hematocrit, fecal occult blood, and/or decreased blood pressure and promptly evaluate patients with any symptoms. When applicable, perform agent-specific laboratory tests (e.g. INR, aPTT) to monitor efficacy and safety of anticoagulation. Discontinue anticoagulation in patients with active pathologic bleeding. Instruct patients to report any signs and symptoms of bleeding, such as unusual bleeding from the gums or nose; unusual bruising; red or black, tarry stools; red, pink or dark brown urine; acute abdominal or joint pain and/or swelling. The time of highest risk for a coumarin-type drug interaction is when the precipitant drug is initiated or discontinued. Contact the prescriber before initiating, altering the dose or discontinuing either drug. DISCUSSION: Hemorrhage occurred in 62% of patients with cervical cancer treated with tisotumab across clinical trials. The most common all grade hemorrhage adverse reactions were epistaxis (44%), hematuria (10%), and vaginal hemorrhage (10%). Grade 3 hemorrhage occurred in 5% of patients.(1)	TIVDAK
Lifileucel/Anticoagulants SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Internal organ hemorrhage, including intraabdominal and intracranial hemorrhage, has been reported in the presence of persistent or repeated thrombocytopenia following treatment with lifileucel.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use or recent therapy with lifileucel and an anticoagulant may increase the risk of life-threatening hemorrhage, including intraabdominal and intracranial hemorrhage.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: The risk for bleeding episodes may be greater in patients with disease-associated factors (e.g. thrombocytopenia). PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The US manufacturer states patients with persistent or repeated thrombocytopenia after receiving lifileucel should not use anticoagulants. If anticoagulation therapy is warranted, close monitoring of patients must take place.(1) The US manufacturer recommends withholding or discontinuing lifileucel if internal organ hemorrhage is indicated, or patient is ineligible for IL-2 (aldesleukin) infusion.(1) If concurrent therapy is warranted, monitor patients receiving concurrent therapy for signs of blood loss, including decreased hemoglobin, hematocrit, fecal occult blood, and/or decreased blood pressure and promptly evaluate patients with any symptoms. When applicable, perform agent-specific laboratory tests (e.g. INR, aPTT) to monitor efficacy and safety of anticoagulation. Instruct patients to report any signs and symptoms of bleeding, such as unusual bleeding from the gums or nose; unusual bruising; red or black, tarry stools; red, pink or dark brown urine; acute abdominal or joint pain and/or swelling. DISCUSSION: In the open-label single-arm study of 156 adult patients, two cases of internal organ hemorrhage (abdominal hemorrhage and intracranial hemorrhage) leading to death were reported.(1) The incidence of grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormalities occurring in melanoma patients following treatment with lifileucel included thrombocytopenia (78.2%), neutropenia (69.2%) and anemia (58.3%). Prolonged thrombocytopenia occurred in 30.1% of patients.(1)	AMTAGVI
