Rifampin: Co- administration of VIOXX with rifampin 600 mg daily, a potent inducer of hepatic metabolism, produced an approximate 50% decrease in rofecoxib plasma concentrations. Therefore, a starting daily dose of 25 mg of VIOXX should be considered for the treatment of osteoarthritis when VIOXX is co- administered with potent inducers of hepatic metabolism.
Warfarin: Prothrombin time (measured as I.R. increased in both single and multiple dose cross- over studies in healthy individuals receiving both warfarin and rofecoxib. In a 21- day multiple- dose study in healthy individuals stabilized on warfarin (2 to 8.5 mg daily), administration of rofecoxib 25 mg QD was associated with mean increases in INR of approximately 8% (range of INR on warfarin alone, 1.1 to 2.2; range of INR on warfarin plus rofecoxib, 1.2 to 2.4). Somewhat greater mean increases in INR of approximately 11% (range of maximum INR on warfarin alone, 1.5 to 2.7; range of maximum INR on warfarin plus rofecoxib, 1.6 to 4.4) were also seen in a single dose PK screening study using a 30- mg dose of warfarin and 50 mg of rofecoxib. Standard monitoring of INR values should be conducted when therapy with VIOXX is initiated or changed, particularly in the first few days, in patients receiving warfarin or similar agents.
