Protein Family ABC transporter superfamily
Protein Function
Translocates drugs and phospholipids across the membrane (PubMed:8898203, PubMed:2897240, PubMed:9038218). Catalyzes the flop of phospholipids from the cytoplasmic to the exoplasmic leaflet of the apical membrane. Participates mainly to the flop of phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, beta-D-glucosylceramides and sphingomyelins (PubMed:8898203). Energy-dependent efflux pump responsible for decreased drug accumulation in multidrug-resistant cells (PubMed:2897240, PubMed:9038218).

      Mechanism Description
  • Decreased clearance of Edoxaban due to the transporter inhibition by Carvedilol 

Recommended Action
      Management When used for the treatment of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, the manufacturer recommends that edoxaban dosage be reduced to 30 mg once daily in patients receiving concomitant treatment with certain P-gp inhibitors including azithromycin, clarithromycin, erythromycin, oral itraconazole, oral ketoconazole, quinidine, and verapamil. This dosage recommendation is based on data from a clinical study, the Hokusai VTE study, and is limited to use with the specific P-gp inhibitors mentioned.
