23
Q

Aspirin

A

Alongside clot lysis therapies
Prevent further thrombosis
Can cause GI bleeding by influencing gastric acid secretion

24
Q

Clopidogrel

A

With aspirin, alongside clot lysis therapies

Improves morbidity and mortality in heart disease patients

25
Q

Eptifibatide

26
Q

Tirofiban

A

Non-peptide inhibitor
Prevention of myocardial infarction in patients with unstable angina

27
Q

Heparin

A

Natural anticoagulant produced by basophils and mast cells
Binds to enzyme inhibitor anti-thrombin 3 (AT3) exposing active site
Activated AT3 inactivates thrombin and factor Xa
Used for unstable angina, treat deep vein thrombosis and as a prophylactic drug to prevent clots

28
