Ref #3341 : * Dabigatran given 2 hours before cobicistat.
† Dabigatran given simultaneously with cobicistat.
Unlike ritonavir, cobicistat significantly increased dabigatran concentrations weither being administered simultaneously or 2 hours after dabigatran. The anticoagulant effect was also increased, with a 46-51% increase in thrombin time (TT) at 24 hours and a 30-33% increase in TT-AUC. Researchers conclude that dabigatran should be co-administered with cobicistat with caution by decreasing dabigratran dosing or by spacing administration with cobicistat by ≥4 hours, in addition with close monitoring of its anticoagulant effect.
The product monograph recommended dose adjustments when used for prevention of venous thrombophlebitis after surgery:
A. With potent P-gp inhibitors (as ketoconazole): Avoid administration.
B. With P-gp inhibitors (amiodarone, quinidine, verapamil°): Consider dose reduction. See product monograph for indications.
C. With P-gp inhibitors (amiodarone, quinidine, vérapamil°) and moderate renal impairment (ClCre 30-50 ml/min) : Consider a greater dose reduction. See product monograph for indications.
D. With other P-gp inhibitors (cyclosporine, itraconazole, posaconazole, nelfinavir, ritonavir, saquinavir) : Exercer un suivi plus étroit.
° For verapamil, it is also recommended to avoid concurrent administration. Give dabigatran 2 hours before verapamil.
