Puis-je prendre Alogliptine et Apixaban ensemble ?

Pourquoi cela se produit

Alogliptin (a diabetes medication) and apixaban (a blood thinner) are processed by different pathways in the body. Alogliptin is primarily excreted unchanged by the kidneys, while apixaban is processed by specific liver enzymes (CYP3A4) and a transport protein (P-gp). Because they do not compete for the same 'processing machinery,' they do not interfere with each other's levels in the blood.

You can continue to take both medications as prescribed by your doctor. As with any medication, you should monitor for general side effects and attend your regular blood sugar and health check-ups. If you notice any unusual bruising or bleeding, inform your healthcare provider, though this would be a general side effect of apixaban rather than an interaction with alogliptin.

Risque de saignement et chirurgie

You must tell any doctor, dentist, or surgeon that you are taking apixaban before any procedure, as it increases your risk of serious bleeding. You may need to stop taking it temporarily. Seek immediate medical help if you have a serious fall or head injury.

Pancréatite

Stop taking alogliptine and contact your doctor immediately if you experience severe and persistent stomach pain, which may reach through to your back, as this can be a sign of an inflamed pancreas (pancreatitis).

Grapefruit can increase the levels of apixaban in your blood, which may increase your risk of bleeding. While the effect is less severe than with some other medicines, it is best to avoid consuming large amounts of grapefruit or its juice while taking this medicine.

Alcool

Moderate alcohol consumption is generally safe, but heavy drinking or binge drinking should be avoided. For apixaban, alcohol can increase the risk of stomach bleeding. For alogliptin, excessive alcohol can increase the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia) and, in rare cases, inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis).
