Features Comparison
Feature
Warfarin
NOAC
Onset / offset of action
Slow
Rapid (dabigatran twice daily dosing)
Predictability of patient
response
Low (narrow therapeutic window),
variable dosing required
High, therefore fixed daily dosing
Food and drink interactions
Vitamin K containing foods, alcohol,
cranberry juice(?)
No dietary interactions reported
Drug interactions
Numerous drugs affect INR
Less drug interactions compared with warfarin;
Pgp inhibitors and inducers additionally for Xa
inhibitors CYP 3A4 inhibitors, inducers,
substrates)
Coagulation monitoring
requirements
Routine monitoring required
Routine monitoring not required. Routine
monitoring not widely available, potential cause
for concern particularly in emergency
circumstances where quick decision required
(e.g. thrombolysis)
Bleeding profile
Overall rate of intracranial
haemorrhages low
Lower rates of intracranial haemorrhages than
warfarin, higher rate of gastrointestinal bleed
Reversal agents
Vitamin K, prothrombin concentrate
complex
No specific agent available for reversal, cause
for concern, particularly in profuse bleeding
and emergency surgery
Non-bleed Side effects
Rash, alopecia, GI disturbances
GI disturbances,anaemia
Renal function
More frequent monitoring may be
required in renal impairment
Requires dose adjustment. Caution required in
renal impairment
Experience
Real-world experience is extensive
Experience growing, still lots to learn
Renal impairment
Dabigatran
Rivaroxaban
Mild renal impairment (CrCL
50- 80 ml/min
no dose adjustment
no dose adjustment
Moderate renal impairment
(CrCL 30-50 ml/min)
no dose adjustment
however, for patients with
high risk of bleeding,
consider dose reduction
Reduced dose – 15mg
(↑age, ↓weight)
severe renal impairment
(CrCL < 30 ml/min)
contraindicated
CrCl 15-29ml/min – 15mg
CrCl<15 - contraindicated
