Abstract

Key Clinical MessageThe precise management of hypersensitivity reactions to direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) and the potential for cross‐reactivity among different DOACs remain unclear. In such cases, switching between DOACs may be feasible and could be considered, but close monitoring for adverse effects is essential, tailored to individual patient responses and tolerability.AbstractHypersensitivity reactions to DOACs, though considered rare, have been documented. This report describes the case of a 28‐year‐old male with a history of testicular cancer who was recently diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis. He was referred to an outpatient pharmacotherapy clinic due to suspected rivaroxaban‐induced cutaneous reactions. Following a thorough evaluation, his anticoagulant therapy was switched from rivaroxaban to apixaban. This change was successfully implemented, and no hypersensitivity symptoms recurred during subsequent follow‐up. This case demonstrates the importance of recognizing potential adverse reactions to DOACs and illustrates the feasibility of switching anticoagulants under close medical supervision to ensure patient safety and effective treatment.
