HC is a 57-year-old man who comes to the pharmacy counter to pick up his refill for clopidogrel 75 mg. When he goes to pay for his prescription, he hands the pharmacist a box of Prilosec OTC (omeprazole) and explains that he has recently been experiencing mild episodes of heartburn. HC wants to know if Prilosec OTC would work for him.
How should the pharmacist respond?
ANSWER
Although omeprazole (Prilosec OTC) is certainly an effective therapy for the self-management of occasional heartburn, it is a poor choice for HC. This is because patients at risk for heart attacks or strokes who use clopidogrel to prevent blood clots do not get the full effect of the drug when taken with cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19) isoenzyme inhibitors. Omeprazole is one of a number of drugs that inhibits the CYP2C19 isoenzyme responsible for the conversion of clopidogrel into its active metabolite. These effects are seen regardless of whether the 2 drugs are given at the same time or taken at different times during the day. As a result, studies have shown that when clopidogrel and omeprazole are taken together, the effectiveness of clopidogrel is reduced. The pharmacist should counsel HC about this drug interaction and recommend he try an OTC H2 blocker instead. Specifically, ranitidine, famotidine, or nizatidine are reasonable choices, whereas cimetidine, also a CYP2C19 inhibitor, is not. Although lansoprazole is also available over-thecounter, limited information exists about drug interactions between clopidogrel and proton pump inhibitors other than omeprazole and esomeprazole, making the recommendation to try lansoprazole more difficult. |
