Deskripsi

Fluconazole increases apixaban plasma concentrations significantly through dual CYP3A4 and P-gp inhibition, raising bleeding risk.

Mekanisme

Apixaban is metabolised by CYP3A4 and transported by P-glycoprotein; fluconazole inhibits both pathways, substantially increasing apixaban exposure.

Signifikansi Klinis

Apixaban AUC may increase ~100%; dose-dependent increase in bleeding events has been observed.

Penatalaksanaan

Reduce apixaban dose when combined with dual CYP3A4/P-gp inhibitors; monitor closely for bleeding symptoms. Consider alternative antifungals.
