Drug Interactions
Aggrastat has been studied on a background of aspirin and heparin.
The use of Aggrastat, in combination with heparin and aspirin, has been associated with an increase in bleeding compared to heparin and aspirin alone (see Side Effects). Caution should be employed when Aggrastat is used with other drugs that affect hemostasis (e.g. warfarin) (see Bleeding Precautions under Precautions).
Aggrastat has been used concomitantly in clinical studies with beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDs) and nitrate preparations without evidence of clinically significant adverse interactions.
