The reason everyone dodges warfarin dosing like Floyd Mayweather is because it's tricky and complicated. That means that a drug interaction between amiodarone and warfarin can happen Because of the kinetics of amiodarone, this is a complex mechanism. Finally, Bactrim is very highly protein bound and can displace warfarin from the albumin it's bound to in your patient's blood (more on that below).

Clinically significant drug-drug interactions (DDIs) between these drugs have been recognized through case studies for many years, but the biochemical mechanisms causing these interactions have not been explained fully. Your job as a pharmacist is to and determine how to manage it. You'll also receive updates from our blog and exclusive, members-only content. My ldl's are low (because of the lipitor) but my hdl's are not high enough and my triglycerides are high.

It can take a while for amiodarone to be at steady state.
Emeritus Bernadette Rodak, Indiana University Clinical Laboratory Science program. Bactrim also inhibits CYP 3A4; which you remember is responsible for breaking down the less potent R-isomer of warfarin.
The correct answer is NOT going to be "continue current dose and check the INR in 7 days." I would recommend consulting your doctor first (obviously) and maybe refraining from COQ-10 unless you have some nasty symptoms that you absolutely can’t tolerate which COQ-10 has been shown to alleviate.

Not all anticoagulants interact with all cholesterol-lowering medications.
After the NAPLEX, you have to do more than just recognize a drug interaction exists with Cipro-- you have to fix it for your patient. Either increases the level of the other by altering drug metabolism.
