Piracetam and Abrocitinib

Here is the interaction we found between these two, with the evidence behind it.

Major

ANTICOAGULANT/ANTIPLATELET DRUGS

Why this applies to Abrocitinib

Abrocitinib falls under ANTICOAGULANT/ANTIPLATELET DRUGS — the group Piracetam interacts with.

Theoretically, concomitant use of piracetam and anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs might increase the risk of bleeding.
Preliminary clinical research shows that a single dose of piracetam inhibits platelet aggregation.
Severity Major Likelihood Probable Evidence B

Interaction has not been documented in well-controlled studies, however, the interaction has been demonstrated in some small human studies or in controlled animal studies in conjunction with multiple case reports..

Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the thing about pairing piracetam with abrocitinib (Cibinqo). This isn't really about how either drug is broken down. Instead, both can independently make your blood a little 'slipperier' when it comes to clotting. Early research suggests piracetam can keep platelets (the cells that form clots) from sticking together as well. Abrocitinib carries its own bleeding-related cautions and can affect platelet counts, so stacking the two could nudge your bleeding risk higher.

What might that look like? More easy bruising, nosebleeds that won't quit, bleeding gums, or cuts that take longer to stop. Keep in mind this concern is largely theoretical and based on limited data. Still, before combining them, please check with your doctor or pharmacist so they can weigh it for you.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Abrocitinib page

“Bleeding is where I'd focus first with abrocitinib (Cibinqo), an eczema pill that can itself lower platelet counts. Of the 290 supplements and herbs with an interaction on file, 202 have blood-thinning or antiplatelet activity, and two of the three major-rated entries, danshen and piracetam, sit in that group.”

About Piracetam

What is Piracetam?

  • Memory and cognition ('nootropic')
  • Cognitive decline and dementia
  • Myoclonus
  • Dyslexia in children
  • Vertigo

Piracetam is a synthetic 'nootropic' drug studied mainly for cognitive decline, myoclonus, and certain neurological conditions, but evidence for boosting memory in healthy people is weak. It is a prescription medicine in many countries and is not an approved drug or dietary supplement in the United States, so quality and safety of products sold online vary. Talk to a doctor or pharmacist before using it.

About Abrocitinib

What Is Abrocitinib Used For?

Brand name: Cibinqo

Cibinqo (abrocitinib) is used to treat moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (eczema) in adults and children 12 years of age and older. It is specifically for people whose eczema has not been adequately controlled with other systemic (whole-body) treatments, including biologics, or when those treatments are not a safe option.

Cibinqo is not recommended to be used at the same time as other JAK inhibitors, biologic immunomodulators, or other immunosuppressants (medicines that reduce immune system activity).
