Interactions

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Avoid combined P-gp and strong CYP3A inhibitors and inducers ( 7.2 , 7.3 ) Anticoagulants : Avoid concomitant use ( 7.4 ) 7.1 General Inhibition and Induction Properties Rivaroxaban is a substrate of CYP3A4/5, CYP2J2, and the P-gp and ATP-binding cassette G2 (ABCG2) transporters. Combined P-gp and strong CYP3A inhibitors increase exposure to rivaroxaban and may increase the risk of bleeding. Combined P-gp and strong CYP3A inducers decrease exposure to rivaroxaban and may increase the risk of thromboembolic events.

Warnings

WARNING: (A) PREMATURE DISCONTINUATION OF RIVAROXABAN FOR ORAL SUSPENSION INCREASES THE RISK OF THROMBOTIC EVENTS, (B) SPINAL/EPIDURAL HEMATOMA A. Premature discontinuation of rivaroxaban for oral suspension increases the risk of thrombotic events Premature discontinuation of any oral anticoagulant, including rivaroxaban for oral suspension, increases the risk of thrombotic events. 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Risk of Bleeding : Rivaroxaban for oral suspension can cause serious and fatal bleeding. An agent to reverse the activity of rivaroxaban is available. ( 5.2 ) Pregnancy-Related Hemorrhage : Use rivaroxaban for oral suspension with caution in pregnant women due to the potential for obstetric hemorrhage and/or emergent delivery.
