Low Molecular Weight Heparin + Carospir⚠️Major

Low molecular weight heparin may increase serum potassium, leading to severe hyperkalemia when used with CAROSPIR.

Low Molecular Weight Heparin + Olsalazine Sodium⚠️Major

Co-administration may increase risk of bleeding and hematomas following neuraxial anesthesia. Discontinue olsalazine prior to initiation or monitor closely.

Low Molecular Weight Heparin + Spironolactone⚠️Major

Low molecular weight heparin can increase serum potassium; concomitant use with spironolactone may lead to severe hyperkalemia.

Low Molecular Weight Heparin + Spironolactone And Hydrochlorothiazide⚠️Major

Concomitant administration may lead to severe hyperkalemia.

Low Molecular Weight Heparin + Palifermin🟡Moderate

Palifermin interacts with low molecular weight heparins; heparin increases systemic exposure of palifermin. Rinse IV line with saline before and after palifermin administration.
