Drug-Drug Interaction Profile of XARELTO

Last Updated: 02/14/2025

SUMMARY  

  • AVOID concomitant use of XARELTO with known1:
    • Combined P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and strong cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) inducers due to increased risk of thromboembolic events
    • Combined P-gp and strong CYP3A inhibitors due to increased bleeding risk
    • Anticoagulants due to increased bleeding risk unless benefit outweighs risk
  • Combined P-gp and moderate CYP3A inhibitors should not be used with XARELTO in patients with creatinine clearance (CrCl) 15 to <80 mL/min, unless the potential benefit justifies the potential risk.1
  • Combined P-gp and weak CYP3A inhibitors do not have specific recommendations.1
  • Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and aspirin are known to increase bleeding, and bleeding risk may be increased when NSAIDs or aspirin are used concomitantly with XARELTO.1
  • Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors can impair hemostasis and increase the risk of bleeding when used concomitantly with XARELTO.1
  • P2Y12 platelet inhibitors, dual antiplatelet therapy, other antithrombotic agents, and fibrinolytic therapy can impair hemostasis and may further increase bleeding when used concomitantly with XARELTO.1
  • Additional drug-drug interactions that are organized by drug class are discussed in the table Drug-Drug Interactions.2-22
  • Additional studies pertaining to drug-drug interactions associated with XARELTO have been included in the REFERENCES section for your review.23-62

Drug Interactions

Rivaroxaban is a substrate of CYP3A4/5, CYP2J2, and the P-gp and ATP-binding cassette G2 (ABCG2) transporters. Combined P-gp and strong CYP3A inhibitors increase exposure to rivaroxaban and may increase the risk of bleeding. Combined P-gp and strong CYP3A inducers decrease exposure to rivaroxaban and may increase the risk of thromboembolic events.1

Anticonvulsant
  • A retrospective review of patients who had plasma concentrations of apixaban or XARELTO during hospitalization compared those who were taking levetiracetam to patients taking an enzyme-inducing antiseizure medications (EI-ASM) or not taking any antiseizure medication. EI-ASM use was associated with an increased odds below-range apixaban or XARELTO plasma concentrations, but levetiracetam use was not.70
  • A retrospective analysis of an epilepsy's center database compared plasma DOAC concentrations in patients taking EI-ASM, non-enzyme inducing antiseizure medications, and levetiracetam. In an ordered proportional odds logit model, the combination of XARELTO with EI-ASM was associated with lower DOAC dosages than XARELTO with levetiracetam.71
  • A retrospective analysis of the FAERS database evaluated patients with atrial fibrillation taking a DOAC and levetiracetam and ischemic event reports. In a logistic regression model, there was a significant signal of ischemic stroke and DOAC-levetiracetam drug interaction. The association was strongest with edoxaban (adj ROR 5.59; 95% CI, 4.23-7.39) and weakest with XARELTO (adj ROR 3.69; 95% CI 2.92-4.67).72
  • Patients who were taking a DOAC and levetiracetam were identified through an anticoagulation clinical database and had their DOAC trough concentration compared to patients not taking levetiracetam from a previous study. There were no significant differences in trough concentrations for patients taking rivaroxaban and levetiracetam compared to the previous data of patients not taking levetiracetam.73

  • Population based retrospective cohort study evaluated the risk of hemorrhage requiring hospitalization or emergency department visits in patients with breast cancer taking a DOAC with tamoxifen versus aromatase inhibitors.74
    • The risk of major hemorrhage while receiving a DOAC was not higher with concurrent tamoxifen (29 of 1179 patients [2.5%]; 23.4 [95% CI, 16.3-33.7] per 1000 person-years) compared with a concurrent AI (119 of 3574 patients [3.3%]; 31.1 [95% CI, 26-37.2] per 1000 person-years). This was consistent in weighted models (absolute risk difference, -0.8%; HR, 0.68 [95% CI, 0.44-1.06]).74
No specific recommendations provided in the prescribing information
Immunosuppressants
Calcineurin Inhibitors
  • Retrospective study in 39 patients who were taking XARELTO or apixaban with tacrolimus or cyclosporine.75

    • C0/D changed significantly (>20%) in 19/39 individual patients for all CNI-NOAC combinations, including 13/22 patients in the tacrolimus-XARELTO group and 2/7 patients in the cyclosporine-XARELTO group; however, the average dose of tacrolimus or cyclosporine was not significantly altered after NOAC initiation.
    • In a multivariable analysis, independent predictors of C0/D in tacrolimus patients were methylprednisolone dose (P=0.039) and concomitant use of a CYP3A inhibitor (P=0.007), while predictors in the cyclosporine group were age (P=0.018) and NOAC use (P=0.020).
  • Pharmacokinetic study in 12 healthy volunteers to evaluate effects of cyclosporine on XARELTO PK alone and in combination with fluconazole.76
    • Cyclosporine and cyclosporine + fluconazole increased XARELTO exposure with a geometric mean AUC ratio of 1.47 (90% CI 1.28-1.68) and Cmax ratio of 2.04 (1.70-2.46) and an AUC ratio of 1.86 (1.58-2.19) and Cmax ratio of 2.15 (1.83-2.53) compared to baseline, respectively.
