Acenocoumarol

For an informed discussion with your doctor or pharmacist. This information collection is not a clinically validated interaction checker. Missing data do not establish safety. Do not change or stop prescribed medicines on the basis of this information. The findings apply to the specific conditions studied; laboratory and animal studies cannot be directly extrapolated to humans.

Active substance: Acenocoumarol

Examples of brand names: Sintrom [CH]

ATC code: B01AA07

Main use (for orientation): Anticoagulation

Documented research summary

A direct in vitro experiment is available. It does not establish a specific INR increase or a safe combination threshold. Acenocoumarol is not a warfarin metabolite.

Uncertainties and limitations

No reliable quantification for patients or individual rare cannabinoids.

Research is limited to the specified date and protocol; it is not globally exhaustive. Brand names and authorisations do not constitute a complete current market overview.

Structured assessment

Category: Direct pair finding

Cannabinoid scope: 28 register names in the documented search family; neither 28 individual clinical trials nor a blanket assessment of all cannabinoids.

Evidence status: Pair-specific evidence, distinguished in the individual findings

Mechanism / drug context: Inhibition of acenocoumarol hydroxylation in liver microsomes.

Type of supporting material: See the separate original findings

Clinical interpretation: Requires individual assessment by a doctor or pharmacist. Lack of evidence does not establish safety; no dosage or discontinuation advice is provided.

Context: Acenocoumarol (nicoumalone), R/S racemate, active vitamin K antagonist; not a prodrug.

Drug context and gaps in search results are not measured interactions. The source role below describes which statement the source actually supports.

Source role [CA_L_D0003]: Drug context

Statement supported: Supports dosage form, metabolism and/or known risks; alone, it does not substantiate a cannabinoid–drug pair finding.

Source: Sinthrome 1 mg Tablets – Summary of Product Characteristics [CA_L_D0003]

Source role [CA_P_36814687]: Pair finding

Statement supported: Drug breakdown inhibited in the laboratory.

Source: Phytochemical Comparison of Medicinal Cannabis Extracts and Study of Their CYP-Mediated Interactions with Coumarinic Oral Anticoagulants. [CA_P_36814687]

Scope of review: Individual research with documented title/abstract screening and targeted review of original sections. This is not exhaustive evidence that interactions are absent.

Unresolved source question: The complete stored individual review, label review, literature screening, conclusion and uncertainties were read. Targeted sections of original information were rechecked; no claim is made that all product information or full texts were completely revalidated.

Separately recorded findings

2 separately recorded findings. Each statement applies to its documented study context.

CBD – laboratory and animal studies

Finding ID: V6_D0003_1

Type of result: Finding within the documented study context

Observation: Drug breakdown inhibited in the laboratory.

Mechanism: Inhibition of hydroxylation in human liver microsomes

Study type: In vitro experiment

Context studied: Treyer et al. 2023; pure substances and defined extracts.

Clinical interpretation: Magnitude in humans unknown.

Limitations and uncertainties: No INR/bleeding prediction. A CBG-rich extract tested with general probes is not a direct CBG-pair result.

Mechanism: Inhibition of hydroxylation in human liver microsomes

Study type: In vitro experiment

Context studied: Treyer et al. 2023; pure substances and defined extracts.

Clinical interpretation: Magnitude in humans unknown.

Limitations and uncertainties: No INR/bleeding prediction. A CBG-rich extract tested with general probes is not a direct CBG-pair result.
