The importance of dosing frequency on the safety of DOACs

open access: yesAmerican Heart Journal Plus, 2022
Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) represent a significant advance over vitamin K antagonists, such as warfarin in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), due to their favorable risk-benefit profile, with significant reductions in stroke and serious bleeding, particularly intracranial hemorrhage.1 Although as class, DOACs tend to reduce major bleeding ...

Decision tree analysis to predict the risk of intracranial haemorrhage after mild traumatic brain injury in patients taking DOACs

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2021
Background: Although the preliminary evidence seems to confirm a lower incidence of post-traumatic bleeding in patients treated with direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) compared to those on vitamin K antagonists (VKAs), the recommended management of mild ...

Exploring the Perioperative Use of DOACs, off the Beaten Track

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Medicine
A notable increase in direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) use has been observed in the last decade. This trend has surpassed the prescription of vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) due to the absence of the need for regular laboratory monitoring and the more ...

Gender-Associated Variation in DOAC Levels

Clinical Laboratory, 2023
Direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) such as Xa inhibitors rivaroxaban (riva) and apixaban (apix) are increasingly replacing Vitamin K antagonists in prophylaxis and treatment of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Measurements of DOAC plasma levels may be necessary in certain clinical conditions to determine the further dosage.

DOAC dosing in renal impairment

Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin, 2019
Dabigatran was the first direct acting oral anticoagulant (DOAC) launched in the UK and has been in clinical use for over 10 years. Since then, ▾rivaroxaban, apixaban and ▾edoxaban have been marketed, and between them the four DOACs account for over 800 000 prescriptions per month in England.1 DOACs provide some advantages over warfarin, including a ...

Interactions Between Direct Oral Anticoagulants (DOACs) and Antiseizure Medications: Potential Implications on DOAC Treatment

CNS Drugs, 2023
The use of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) is increasing because of their superior efficacy and safety compared with vitamin K antagonists. Pharmacokinetic drug interactions, particularly those involving cytochrome P450- mediated metabolism and P-glycoprotein transport, significantly affect the efficacy and safety of DOACs.

DOACS in women: pros and cons

Thrombosis Research, 2019
The recent approval of direct-acting oral anticoagulants (DOAC) for long-term anticoagulation in atrial fibrillation and venous thromboembolism resulted in a rapid implementation of these new drugs into daily care. Although DOAC dosing is similar for women and men and, overall, results in comparable outcomes, sex specific issues need to be considered ...

Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of DOAC

2021
Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have become available as an alternative to warfarin anticoagulation in non-valvular atrial fibrillation. The DOACs, dabigatran (a reversible direct thrombin inhibitor) and the direct factor Xa inhibitors rivaroxaban, apixaban, and edoxaban offer fixed dosing, more predictable pharmacokinetics and fewer interactions ...
