Rivaroxaban and macitentan can be coadministered without dose adjustment but the combination of rivaroxaban and St John's wort should be avoided.

There is no evidence for a relevant pharmacokinetic interaction between macitentan and rivaroxaban suggesting that these two drugs can be combined without dose adjustment. SJW strongly increased CYP3A activity and substantially reduced rivaroxaban and macitentan exposure while estimated net endothelin antagonism only decreased by 20%, which is considered clinically irrelevant. The combination of SJW with rivaroxaban should be avoided.
