-prostacyclin blocked

prostacyclin is an inhibitor of platelet aggregation and vasodilator

47

48
Q

antiplatelet effect of aspirin

A

inhibits ADP receptor on platelets

can cause TTP, aplastic anemia, agranulocytosis

50
Q

inhibit phosphodiesterase III

  • results in increased cyclic AMP
  • and decreased platelet aggreagation
  • also stimulates vasodilation
