摘要
Edoxaban, a factor Xa inhibitor, is a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC). DOACs may have a lower incidence of drug-drug interactions (DDIs) than vitamin K antagonists such as warfarin. Nonetheless, DOACs can have clinically relevant pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic DDIs. Careful consideration of potential DDIs is needed when prescribing edoxaban, and clinically relevant DDIs may be prevented by avoiding offending combinations, spacing out the timing of the drugs or by halving the dose of edoxaban where indicated.
