EDOXABAN vs MIRADON
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Selective, direct, reversible inhibitor of factor Xa, blocking the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin, thereby reducing thrombin generation and thrombus formation.
MIRADON (anagrelide) inhibits cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase and the release of arachidonic acid from phospholipids, possibly by inhibiting phospholipase A2. It also suppresses megakaryocyte maturation and platelet production.

Terminal elimination half-life is 10-14 hours. In patients with creatinine clearance 15-50 mL/min, half-life is prolonged to approximately 17-20 hours.
Clinical Note
moderateEdoxaban + Digoxin
"The serum concentration of Digoxin can be increased when it is combined with Edoxaban."
Clinical Note
moderateEdoxaban + Levofloxacin
"The serum concentration of Levofloxacin can be increased when it is combined with Edoxaban."
Clinical Note
moderateEdoxaban + Benzydamine
"Edoxaban may increase the anticoagulant activities of Benzydamine."
Clinical Note
moderateEdoxaban + Deferasirox
Terminal elimination half-life is 8-12 hours in adults with normal renal function. In patients with creatinine clearance <30 mL/min, half-life may extend to 20-30 hours. The half-life supports twice-daily dosing in most patients.
Renal excretion accounts for approximately 50% of the administered dose. Fecal excretion accounts for approximately 40%. Biliary excretion is minimal.
Renal excretion of unchanged drug accounts for 60-70% of the administered dose. Fecal/biliary excretion accounts for 20-25%, with the remainder as oxidative metabolites. Up to 10% is eliminated as glucuronide conjugates.
