      Drug Name Ticlopidine Anisindione
      Mechanism Risk of bleeding
Antiplatelet 
Risk of bleeding
Anticoagulant 
      Key Mechanism Factor 1
Factor Name Bleeding
Factor Description Patients may be at risk for bleeding when the outcome of a disease or disease treatment confounds the standard mechanisms for maintaining hemostasis. Signs or symptoms of abnormal bleeding include: bleeding that takes a long time to stop (including nosebleeds, bleeding gums, bleeding from cuts and abrasions, and menstrual bleeding); severe unexplained bruising, or bruising that becomes larger; blood in the urine or stool, etc.
      Mechanism Description
  • Increased risk of bleeding by the combination of Ticlopidine and Anisindione 

Recommended Action
      Management The manufacturer recommends discontinuation of any anticoagulants before initiating ticlopidine therapy. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, patients should be closely monitored for signs of bleeding and the anticoagulant dosage should be adjusted as appropriate to maintain therapeutic aPTT/INR values. Patients should be advised to promptly report any signs of bleeding to their physician, including pain, swelling, headache, dizziness, weakness, prolonged bleeding from cuts, vaginal bleeding, nosebleeds, bleeding of gums from brushing, unusual bruising, red or brown urine, or red or black stools.
