Triclosan interactions
Some drugs, like insulin, may interfere with the body’s lipase system. This kind of interaction seems, however, to be of only limited clinical importance.
Heparin in clinical doses causes a transient increase in lipolysis in plasma, resulting in a transient decrease in triglyceride clearance due to depletion of lipoprotein lipase.
Soybean oil has a natural content of vitamin K1. This is considered important only for patients treated with coumarin derivatives, which interfere with vitamin K1.
