William Aird: When Inducers Make DOACs Fail

William Aird, Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, shared a post on X:

“Saw a patient on Tegretol today… a good reminder:

Strong inducers can neutralize DOACs.

Think twice (or switch) if you see:

  • Carbamazepine
  • Phenytoin
  • Rifampin
  • Phenobarbital

Not a dose adjustment.

A different anticoagulant.”
