설명
Ciprofloxacin consistently enhances warfarin's anticoagulant effect, raising INR and increasing the risk of bleeding complications.
기전
Ciprofloxacin inhibits CYP1A2, reducing the metabolism of R-warfarin; it also suppresses gut flora, diminishing intestinal vitamin K production.
임상적 중요성
Clinically significant INR elevations occur in a substantial proportion of patients; GI and urinary tract bleeding have been documented.
관리 방법
Check INR 3–5 days after starting ciprofloxacin and after completing the course; reduce warfarin dose empirically by ~10–15% if INR trending up.
