Interactions:

Acenocoumarol

  • Adverse Effect: an increased risk of bleeding  
  • Clinical Management: In patients receiving oral anticoagulation, the prothrombin time (PT) or international normalized ratio (INR) should be closely monitored with the addition and withdrawal of treatment with nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including fenoprofen. Coagulation parameters should also be reassessed periodically during concurrent therapy. Adjustments of the acenocoumarol dose may be necessary in order to maintain the desired level of anticoagulation

    Amiloride

  • Adverse Effect: reduced diuretic effectiveness, hyperkalemia, or possible nephrotoxicity  
  • Clinical Management: When administering Piroxicam and Amiloride concurrently, monitor the patient for decreased effectiveness of the diuretic and hyperkalemia. Monitor blood pressure, weight changes, urine output, potassium levels, and creatinine levels.

    Amlodipine

  • Adverse Effect: An increased risk of gastrointestinal hemorrhage  
  • Clinical Management: Patients who are receiving concurrent NSAID and calcium channel blocker therapy should be monitored for signs of gastrointestinal hemorrhage, such as weakness, nausea, and blood in the stool.
