Bleeding complication during coumarin therapy due to amiodarone and azithromycin
The Journal of the Association of Physicians of India
|March 29, 2001
Abstract:
A patient with mechanical heart valves developed bleeding, after the introduction of amiodarone and azithromycin. Though the anticoagulant effect could be neutralized, the patient succumbed to heart failure. Any new drug prescribed to patients on anticoagulant must be assessed for its potential for interaction and warrants frequent prothrombin time testing.
