Interaction of rifampin and warfarin.

چکیده
A 72-year-old man who had been taking rifampin daily for several months was concurrently administered warfarin daily for ten weeks. During this period, the prothrombin time (PT) rose remarkably little as the dosage of warfarin was increased. With difficulty, satisfactory anticoagulation was achieved by giving warfarin 20 mg daily. On discontinuation of rifampin therapy, the PT increased significantly, and subsequent stabilization of the PT within therapeutic range required treatment with warfarin 7.5 mg daily.

Rifampin-warfarin interaction in a mitral valve replacement patient receiving rifampin for infective endocarditis: a case report.
INTRODUCTION Warfarin therapy is associated with many drug interactions that may cause a significant alteration in its anticoagulant effect. Rifampin is a widely used antimicrobial that has major interactions with several medications including warfarin due to its strong P-glycoprotein and liver enzyme inducer activity especially on CYP2C9, CYP3A4, CYP1A2 and CYP2C19. PRESENTATION We report a ...
متن کاملDescribing the Profile of Patients on Concurrent Rifampin and Warfarin Therapy in Western Kenya: A Case Series
BACKGROUND Rifampicin's ability to induce hepatic enzymes is responsible for causing a clinically significant drug interaction with warfarin. Little data exists to guide clinicians on managing this interaction, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa where many patients are exposed to this combination due to a higher burden of tuberculosis. OBJECTIVE The objective of the case series is to provide in...

متن کاملProlonged induction of warfarin metabolism and a paradoxical INR response in a mitral valve replacement patient receiving rifampicin for infective endocarditis
Rifampicin induces multiple detoxification pathways, including those mediated by enzymes of the cytochrome P450 (CYP) family such as CYP2C9 and CYP3A4 [1], and is a known perpetrator of metabolic drug-drug interactions (mDDIs). Warfarin is a narrow therapeutic index anti-coagulant drug that is primarily cleared via CYP-mediated metabolism, and as such is a plausible victim of mDDIs with clinica...
