Drug interactions

There are a large number of documented interactions between anticoagulants or antiplatelet medications and other prescription drugs. The current  or individual drug Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC) sheets (available at www.medicines.org.uk/emc) should be consulted for complete listings.

For interactions between anticoagulants or antiplatelet medications and drugs that are available in the BNF Dental Practitioner’s Formulary see Interactions with drugs prescribed by dentists. Advice on management can be found in the BNF and SDCEP Drug Prescribing for Dentistry guidance.
