Relevance: 11.12.2022 Reviewer: Shkutko P.M., M.D., in

In the database of official manuals used in the service creation an interaction registered by statistical results of studies was found, which can either lead to negative consequences for the patient health or strengthen a mutual positive effect. A doctor should be consulted to address the issue of joint drug administration.

Consumer:

Using desirudin together with ketorolac may increase the risk of bleeding, including severe and sometimes fatal hemorrhage. 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; and 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.

Professional:

MONITOR CLOSELY: Coadministration of thrombin inhibitors with drugs that affect platelet function may potentiate the risk of bleeding due to additive or synergistic effects on hemostasis.

GENERALLY AVOID: In patients receiving neuraxial anesthesia or spinal puncture, the risk of developing an epidural or spinal hematoma during thrombin inhibitor therapy may be increased by the concomitant use of other drugs that affect coagulation, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and platelet inhibitors. The development of epidural and spinal hematoma can lead to long-term or permanent paralysis.

MANAGEMENT: Close clinical and laboratory observation for bleeding complications is recommended if thrombin inhibitors are used with drugs that interfere with platelet function, including long-term or chronic NSAIDs. In patients undergoing neuraxial intervention, coadministration of these agents should be approached with extreme caution and only after thorough assessment of risks and benefits. Besides bleeding complications, these patients should also be monitored frequently for signs and symptoms of neurologic impairment such as midline back pain, sensory and motor deficits (numbness or weakness in lower limbs), and bowel or bladder dysfunction. Urgent diagnosis and treatment (e.g., spinal cord decompression) are required if signs or symptoms of spinal hematoma develop. To reduce the potential risk of bleeding, placement or removal of an epidural catheter or lumbar puncture should ideally be performed when the anticoagulant effect of the thrombin inhibitor is low. An optimal interval has not been established, but should take into consideration the pharmacokinetic profile of the thrombin inhibitor.
