Anticoagulants or Other Drugs Affecting Coagulation

Some studies with omega-3-acids demonstrated prolongation of bleeding time. The prolongation of bleeding time reported in these studies has not exceeded normal limits and did not produce clinically significant bleeding episodes.

Agents with Antiplatelet Properties (e.g., P2Y12 inhibitors, NSAIDs, SSRIs, etc.): Vitamin E (Hh-OMEGA) (Systemic) may enhance the antiplatelet effect of Agents with Antiplatelet Properties. Monitor therapy

Anticoagulants: Vitamin E (Hh-OMEGA) (Systemic) may enhance the anticoagulant effect of Anticoagulants. Monitor therapy

CycloSPORINE (Systemic): Vitamin E (Hh-OMEGA) (Systemic) may decrease the serum concentration of CycloSPORINE (Systemic). Monitor therapy

Ibrutinib: Vitamin E (Hh-OMEGA) (Systemic) may enhance the antiplatelet effect of Ibrutinib. Monitor therapy

Orlistat: May decrease the serum concentration of Vitamins (Fat Soluble). Management: Administer oral fat soluble vitamins at least 2 hours before or after the administration of orlistat. Similar precautions do not apply to parenterally administered fat soluble vitamins. Consider therapy modification

Tipranavir: May enhance the adverse/toxic effect of Vitamin E (Hh-OMEGA) (Systemic). Management: Patients taking tipranavir oral solution are advised to avoid taking additional Vitamin E (Hh-OMEGA), beyond the amounts contained in a multivitamin product. This interaction does not apply to tipranavir capsules. Consider therapy modification

What other drugs will affect Zinc (Hh-OMEGA)?

Pyridoxine reduces the effects of levodopa (but this does not occur if a dopa decarboxylase is also given); decreases serum concentrations of phenobarbitone. Concurrent administration of drugs eg, isoniazid, penicillamine and oral contraceptives increase the requirement for pyridoxine.

Absorption of cyanocobalamin from the GIT may be reduced by neomycin, aminosalicylic acid, histamine H₂-receptor antagonists and colchicine. Serum concentrations may be decreased by concurrent administration of oral contraceptives. Many of these interactions are unlikely to be of clinical significance but should be taken into account when performing assays for blood concentrations.

Parenteral chloramphenicol may attenuate the effect of vitamin B12 in anaemia.

Folate deficiency states may be produced by a number of drugs including antiepileptics, oral contraceptives, antituberculous drugs, alcohol and folic acid antagonists eg, aminopterin, methotrexate, pyrimethamine, trimethoprim and sulphonamides; folic acid may decrease serum-phenytoin concentrations.

There may be an increased risk of myopathy or rhabdomyolysis when nicotinic acid is used concurrently with statins. Nicotinamide may increase the requirements for insulin or oral hypoglycaemics.

Ascorbic acid may increase the absorption of iron-deficiency states.

Ascorbic acid is often given in addition to desferrioxamine to patients with iron overload (thalassemia) to achieve better iron excretion. However, early on in treatment when there is excess tissue iron, there is some evidence that ascorbic acid may worsen the iron toxicity, particularly to the heart. Thus, ascorbic acid should not be given for the first month after starting desferrioxamine treatment.

The absorption of Zinc (Hh-OMEGA) may be reduced by iron supplements, penicillamine, phosphorus-containing preparations and tetracyclines. Zinc (Hh-OMEGA) supplements reduce the absorption of Zinc (Hh-OMEGA), ciprofloxacin, iron, norfloxacin, penicillamine and tetracyclines.
