Consumer:Before receiving verteporfin, you should let your doctor know if you are currently using or have recently used eptifibatide. Combining these medications may decrease the effectiveness of verteporfin in treating your eye condition. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. 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: Drugs that decrease clotting, vasoconstriction, or platelet aggregation may interfere with the therapeutic effect of verteporfin. These agents may antagonize the physiologic responses to local damage of neovascular endothelium induced by activated verteporfin, which include the release of procoagulant and vasoactive factors that result in vessel occlusion. However, the clinical significance is unknown.
MANAGEMENT: If possible, agents such as anticoagulants, thrombolytics, platelet inhibitors, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, ginkgo, dong quai, and vasodilators should be discontinued prior to verteporfin therapy. Otherwise, the potential for diminished efficacy of verteporfin should be considered.
