Does Warfarin Interact With Meloxicam?
Question: What is t,he remedy for drug interaction of meloxicam and warfrin
Brief Answer:
vitamim K if needed
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
meloxicam may increase the risk of bleeding when taking with warfarin. In that case, checking the INR frequently (to make sure it's within the target range) and receiving prophylactic treatment with acid reducing agents like ranitidine or omeprazole may help to reduce the risk. If the INR is too high or there's active bleeding then taking vitamin K either by mouth or by injection (avoid the intramuscular route to prevent the formation of hematoma) will correct it. If your doctor did not consider your symptom to be serious then you should probably just stay alert for more serious ones.
There is nothing that will make you feel better if you have bruises. They'll just have to be absorbed with time.
Kind Regards!
