Question 2

What are examples of NSAID medications?

Answer 2

Aspirin

Question 3

What is the MOA of NSAIDS?

Answer 3

COX-1 inhibitors; prevents formation of thromboxane A2

Question 4

What are examples of ADP receptors P2Y12 blocker?

Answer 4

Clopidogrel, prasugrel, ticagrelor

Question 5

What is the mOA of ADP receptors P2Y12 blocker?

Answer 5

Blocks ADP activation of process the signals fibrinogen linking of platelets

Question 6

What are examples of GPIIb/Illa Receptors blockers?

Answer 6

Abciximab, tirofiban, eptifibatide

Question 7

What is the MOA with GPIIb/Illa Receptor blockers?

Answer 7

Blocks GPIIb/IIIa receptor activity of fibrin linking platelets together

Question 8

What are examples of PDE (3) inhibitor?

Answer 8

Dipyridamole, cilostazol

Question 9

What is the MOA of PDE (3) inhibitor?

Answer 9

Inhibition of platelet activation. Also has vasodilation properties

Question 10

What do anti-platelet medications do?

Answer 10

prevent platelet aggregation by acting on receptors or biochemical processes in the platelet cell or preventing the formation of compounds necessary for these processes to occur

** prevents platelets from clumping to prevent the formation and growth of clots
