Q

Drug: Heparin
MOA:
Clinical Use/Monitoring Tests/administration route:
Toxicity (AE - 2 subtypes- and Tx for Tox, allergy risks for Tox Tx?)/Interactions/Contraindications (2)/safe for pregnant women?:

A

ANTICOAGULANTS
Prevent blood clotting
-natural product derived from mast cells; MW 5-30,000daltons
MOA: Accelerates (1000 fold) inactivation of 2 (thrombin), 9 and 10 (via AT-III - coag factors irreversibly bind this) by reversibly binding (via specific pentasaccharide site with a 3-O-sulfated glucosamine residue… needs minimum of 18 monosaccharide units to bind?) to Antithrombin III (AT-III) -> accelerates action of AT-III (suicide substrate) which prevents fibrin generation)
Clinical Use/Monitoring Tests: - can use to prevent blood coag in VITRO - i.e. when take a sample of blood
-Tx for venous thromboembo
-Patency of IV cannulas and in angioplasty (do a hepatin IV flush!)
- Monitor via aPTT and platelet count if long-term;give via SubQ or IV (IM -> hematoma)
Toxicity/Interactions/Contraindications: OK for preggos but d/c 24h prior to labor
AE = Bleeding -> thrombocytopenia: HIT-type 1 = non-immune, within 2 d of therapy, d/t platelet-heparin interaxn
HIT-type 2 = more severe; immune mediated; after 5-10 days -heparin(acting as hapten to)-platelet factor 4 complex causes autoAb binding to platelet surface and aggregation
Tx of toxicity(excess hemorrhage) =
-Protamine sulfate: Heparin-protamine complex cannot bind to AT-III - BUT NOT in ppl with fish allergy nor in diabetics who take NP(rotamine)H insulin b/c allergy risk
- plasma
- whole blood
Contraindications
-Bleeding disorder
-Pre-existing bleeding sites

Q

Drug: LMW-HePARIN (EnoxaPARIN; DaltePARIN; TinzaPARIN)
MOA:
Clinical Use/Monitoring Tests/ administration route:
Toxicity/Interactions/Contraindications - ok in preggo?:

A

ANTICOAGULANTS
Prevent blood clotting
-fractionated from standard heparin
MW = 4500 daltons; 15 monosach units so too small to bind AT-III and Thrombin at same time

Clinical Use:
- in VITRO to prevent clotting in test tubes
-PPx and Tx of DVT and PE
- unstable angina or NON-Q-wave MI for thrombus Ppx
Admin route: subQ only – NO IV; 1x/day dose - longer 1/2 life- … likely what you got
Monitoring Tests: don’t have to monitor but can with: anti-Xa activity (bc so specific)
Toxicity: safer and more effective than regular heparin
Interactions:
Contraindications: OK for PREGGO**
**lower incidence of thrombocytopenia - can use as outpatient!

Q

Drug: Warfarin
MOA: (2)
Clinical Use/Monitoring Tests(2); therapeutic goals (2 ranges):
Toxicity/Interactions/Contraindications - ok for preggo?:
Tx for OD (2)?

A

ANTICOAGULANTS
Prevent blood clotting
** #1 ORAL anticoag in UNITED STATES *
MOA:
- 1. Inhibits hepatic synthesis of biologically active Vitamin K-dependent clotting factors **
(2,7-shortest 1/2 life,9,10-longest 1/2 life)
and Protein C and S
-2. also prevents gamma carbox (b/c Warfarin inhibits conversion of Vitamin K epoxide to hydroquinone) so cannot bind Ca++ anymore and thus remain INACTIVE
Delayed therapeutic effect, initial effect occurs in 24 hr and maximal effect takes 5- 7 days - b/c needs time to inhibit TXN/TLN… i.e. hepatic protein synthesis
Clinical Use:
- cannot use in test tubes -in VITRO- bc gets +ed in liver (epoxide via vit K)
-PPx & Tx of DVT and PE
- TE Ppx in pts with Prosthetic Heart Valves
- Arterial thromboembolism Ppx in atrial fibrillation
Monitoring Tests:
INR values which are standardized PT values (prothrombin time) use (pts’s PT/mean normal PT)^ISI = INR need this b/c of thromboplastin reactivity
therapeutic goals for INR:
Goal for INR is 2.0-3.0
prophylactic for heart valves INR 2.5-3.0
Toxicity/AE - Hemorrhage (bleeding)
AE more likely in: issues with vit K, coag factor synth(shitty hepatic fn), change in fibrin degradation, change in platelet fn or #
Genetic predisposition to AE
1) Genetic variants of CYP2C9 and VKORC1 genes use less warfarin?????
Interactions/ - different card
Contraindications:
- patients with bleeding disorder or existing bleeding site -NO PREGGO!!!!(Pregnancy Category X)
->congenital abnormalities occur if fetus exposed first, second or third trimester -greater incidence of neonatal and fetal hemorrhage
Tx for OD:
a. Administer whole blood or plasma
b. Administer Vitamin K1– (phytonadione)
takes 24 hrs
