Black Box Warning

WARNING: BLEEDING RISK
See full prescribing information for complete Boxed Warning.
Bleeding: Do not use vorapaxar in patients with a history of stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA), or intracranial hemorrhage (ICH); or active pathological bleeding. Antiplatelet agents, including vorapaxar , increase the risk of bleeding, including ICH and fatal bleeding

Overview

Vorapaxar is a platelet aggregation inhibitor that is FDA approved for the prophylaxis of thrombotic cardiovascular events in patients with a history of myocardial infarction (MI) or with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). There is a Black Box Warning for this drug as shown here. Common adverse reactions include bleeding, anemia.

Adult Indications and Dosage

Off-Label Use and Dosage (Adult)

Pediatric Indications and Dosage

FDA-Labeled Indications and Dosage (Pediatric)

Off-Label Use and Dosage (Pediatric)

Contraindications

History of Stroke, Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA), or Intracranial Hemorrhage (ICH)

  • Vorapaxar is contraindicated in patients with a history of stroke, TIA, or ICH because of an increased risk of ICH in this population.
  • Discontinue vorapaxar in patients who experience a stroke, TIA, or ICH.

Active Pathologic Bleeding

  • Vorapaxar is contraindicated in patients with active pathological bleeding such as ICH or peptic ulcer

Warnings

WARNING: BLEEDING RISK
See full prescribing information for complete Boxed Warning.
Bleeding: Do not use vorapaxar in patients with a history of stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA), or intracranial hemorrhage (ICH); or active pathological bleeding. Antiplatelet agents, including vorapaxar , increase the risk of bleeding, including ICH and fatal bleeding

General Risk of Bleeding

  • Antiplatelet agents, including ZONTIVITY, increase the risk of bleeding, including ICH and fatal bleeding.
  • ZONTIVITY increases the risk of bleeding in proportion to the patient's underlying bleeding risk.
  • Consider the underlying risk of bleeding before initiating ZONTIVITY. General risk factors for bleeding include older age, low body weight, reduced renal or hepatic function, history of bleeding disorders, and use of certain concomitant medications (e.g., anticoagulants, fibrinolytic therapy, chronic nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [NSAIDS], selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors) increases the risk of bleeding
  • Avoid concomitant use of warfarin or other anticoagulants.
  • Suspect bleeding in any patient who is hypotensive and has recently undergone coronary angiography, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG), or other surgical procedures.
  • Withholding ZONTIVITY for a brief period will not be useful in managing an acute bleeding event because of its long half-life.
  • There is no known treatment to reverse the antiplatelet effect of ZONTIVITY.
  • Significant inhibition of platelet aggregation remains 4 weeks after discontinuation.

Strong CYP3A Inhibitors or Inducers

  • Strong CYP3A inhibitors increase and inducers decrease ZONTIVITY exposure.
  • Avoid concomitant use of ZONTIVITY with strong CYP3A inhibitors or inducers
