Vitamin K Antagonists + Nilutamide Interaction

Majorinteraction on record

Description

Nilutamide inhibits cytochrome P-450 isoenzymes, reducing metabolism of vitamin K antagonists and increasing serum half-life, potentially leading to toxic levels. Prothrombin time should be monitored and dosage may need reduction.

Mechanism

Inhibition of hepatic cytochrome P-450 isoenzymes reducing drug metabolism
