    • recent major surgery (especially involving the brain, spinal cord, or eye)
    • medical conditions that increase the tendency to bleed
    • stomach ulcers

    What should I tell my doctor or health care provider?

    • Because certain other medications can interact with Argatroban, and may increase the risk of bleeding, review all medications that you are taking with your health care provider, including those that you take without a prescription.
    • Tell your doctor if you are taking blood thinners.

    What are some possible side effects of Argatroban? (This list is NOT a complete list of side effects reported with Argatroban. Your health care provider can discuss with you a more complete list of side effects.)

    Other side effects may include:

    • Shortness of breath
    • Low blood pressure
    • Fever
    • Diarrhea

    For more detailed information about Argatroban, ask your health care provider.
