What the FDA labels say about taking them together

Clopidogrel and enzalutamide

Enzalutamide's FDA label (Xtandi) of May 25, 2021 names clopidogrel in its drug interactions section; the clopidogrel label PlainMeds reads does not name enzalutamide. The enzalutamide label: “Concomitant use of XTANDI with narrow therapeutic index drugs that are metabolized by CYP3A4, CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 should be avoided, as enzalutamide may decrease their exposure.”

Check it at the source: the clopidogrel FDA label on DailyMed (effective May 30, 2025, Sanofi-Aventis U.S. LLC); the enzalutamide FDA label on DailyMed (effective July 28, 2026, Astellas Pharma US, Inc.).

What does the clopidogrel label say about enzalutamide?

Clopidogrel's label (effective May 30, 2025) does not name enzalutamide in these sections. A label lists what its studies and reports found; it is not a complete list.

These are the labels' own sentences. PlainMeds does not grade interactions; a pharmacist or prescriber can say what they mean for one person's medicines.
