Summary
Corticosteroids have variable effects on coagulation, and may either oppose anticoagulation or increase bleeding through vascular fragility and GI mucosal injury. Antithrombin is an anticoagulant, so this interaction is poorly defined and of uncertain clinical relevance.
What this interaction means in plain words
Antithrombin alfa and Triamcinolone have a small, usually unimportant interaction. Most people can take both; the pharmacist may still mention it so that any unexpected effect is recognised.
Why it happens
No well-established mechanism; corticosteroids may variably influence coagulability and vascular integrity.
What to do
Monitor coagulation parameters such as aPTT or anti-Xa as dictated by the heparin therapy used with antithrombin, and watch for bleeding.
What to ask your pharmacist
- Is there anything I should notice while taking both?
- Do I need to tell my doctor at the next visit?
