Alert the Pharmacist to Patients Getting Duloxetine With Warfarin
November 2014
You'll hear about handling interaction alerts between blood thinners (warfarin, etc) and SSRI or SNRI antidepressants (duloxetine, etc).
SSRIs and SNRIs may prevent the blood from clotting...putting the patient at risk of bleeding if they're also taking a blood thinner.
Alert the pharmacist to patients getting a blood thinner and an SSRI or SNRI antidepressant...and avoid automatically overriding these alerts.
