Can XARELTO® be used concurrently with aspirin or other NSAIDs?
In a single-dose drug interaction study, there were no pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic interactions observed after concomitant administration of naproxen or aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) with XARELTO®. However, aspirin and other NSAIDs are known to increase bleeding, and bleeding risk may be increased when these drugs are used concomitantly with XARELTO®. Promptly evaluate any signs or symptoms of blood loss if patients are treated concomitantly with aspirin, other platelet aggregation inhibitors, or NSAIDs
◇For VTE prophylaxis in acutely ill medical patients at risk for thromboembolic complications who are not at high risk of bleeding.
NSAID = nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug.
