Heparin has 44 known drug interactions based on U.S. FDA drug labeling data. Of these, 5 are contraindicated combinations that should be avoided entirely. 30 are classified as major interactions requiring close medical supervision. Notable interactions include combinations with (Sotradecol) Sodium Tetradecyl Sulfate, Andexanet Alfa, Defibrotide Sodium. Patients taking Heparin should inform their healthcare provider of all current medications — including over-the-counter drugs and supplements — to avoid potentially harmful combinations.
