Antiplatelet/ Thrombolytic Flashcards
3 types of drugs effecting coagulation
Anticoagulants
Antiplatelet
Thrombolytic Therapy
prevents the formation of clots- VENOUS (DVT)
Anticoagulantsz
inhibits platelet aggregation (arterial - MI/Stroke)
Antiplatelet Agents
dissolves life threatening clots
Thrombolytic
4 types of antiplatelet agents?
- Aspirin
- Adenosine Diphosphate Receptor (ADP) Antagonists
- PAR-1 Antagonists
- Glycoprotein Ilb/llla Receptor Antagonists
how does apirin fxn?
- antiplatelet
- interfere with platelet aggregation or “stickiness”
- Used to prevent clot formation in arteries
how long is single dose of aspirin good for antiplatelet effects?
up to 1 week!
how does 1 week dose of aspirin fxn? what is the dose?
- –>Irreversible inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX)
- –>Used to prevent heart attack, TIA & stroke with 81mg
side effects of aspirin? what we gonna do about it?
GI Bleed
-GI Bleed not reduced with enteric coated but is helped with proton pump inhibitor
If we put someone on bigger dose of aspirin will it make their shit less sticky and their heart more good?
No!
-if increase dose - increase side effects and no CV benefits
Prototype for Adenosine Diphosphate Receptor (ADP) Antagonists
clopidogrel (Plavix)
How does clopidogrel (Plavix) fxn?
- Irreversible blockade of ADP receptors on platelet surfaces
- Used to prevent clots –> high risk MI, CVA patients
What is clopidogrel (Plavix) used for? which patient populations?
prevent clots –> high risk MI, CVA patients
Side effects of clopidogrel (Plavix)? what we gonna do about it?
Adenosine Diphosphate Receptor (ADP) Antagonists
GI bleed
-Might just let them bleed if risk of thrombotic event (MI/Stroke) is high
Always check with provider before stopping
Adenosine Diphosphate Receptor (ADP) Antagonists
clopidogrel (Plavix)
