assoc of lmwh

A

low half life

24
Q

what is similar to lmwh

A

fondaprinaux

25

A

common and intrinsic pathway

30
Q

what interacts with heparin making it less efficient

A

tetracyclines
antihistamines
nicotine

31
Q

adp receptor inhibitor

A

clopidogrel; antiplatelet

32
Q

what is clopidogrel used with in ACS

A

aspirin

33
Q

direct facot Xa inhibitord

A

apixaban
edoxaban
rivaroxaban

34
Q

how are factor xa inhitor taken

A

orally

35
Q

what are factor xa inibotors used for

A

prevetion od dvt, pe, afib

36
Q

are factor xa inhibs rapid onset

A

yes

37
Q

what are direct thrombin inhibtors used in conjunction with

A

antiplatelet like aspirin/ clopidogrel

38
Q

example of direct thrombin inhibotor

A

dabigatran

39
Q

why might bleeding occur when taking factor xa inhibs

A

its metabolysed by cytohcrome p450 and so drugs like metornidazole, trimethoprim, amiodaorne inhibit this enzyme

40
Q

what might antiplatelets cause

A

gastric ulcers and bleeding

41
Q

function of antiplatelets

A

orimary haemostasis inhibitors

42
Q

action of antiplatelets

A

blocks syntheisis of thromboxane a2 which activates platelets

43
Q

what do antiplatelets inhibit

A

indiredctly inhibit cox 1 and 2 by acetylation

44
Q

action of thrombolytics

A

bind to plasminogen to form plasmin and degrading ibrin clot

45
Q

what is used to convert plasminogen to plasmin

A

TPA

46
Q

Thrombolytic drig

A

alteplase iV

47
Q
A
48
Q

action of alteplase

A

binds to fibrinproteins on clot then binds to plasminogen

49
Q

when is thrombolytics prescirbwd

A

short term acutely

50
Q

when must thrombolysis be given

A

within 12hrs of symptom onset

51
Q

when is thrombyolyics contraindicated

in major bleeding, acute bleeding. trauma, pre surgery
