Interaction:

The effects of anticoagulants may be enhanced by aescin.

The concomitant administration of antibiotics of the aminoglycoside type (eg, gentamicin) should be avoided since it can not totally be ruled out that the nephrotoxicity may be enhanced.

The binding of aescin to plasma proteins may be affected by antibiotics eg cephalotin and ampicillin which can cause a rise in the concentration of free serum aescin.

The aforementioned substances should therefore not be administered concomitantly to Amorphous aescin
