Q

If we put someone on bigger dose of aspirin will it make their shit less sticky and their heart more good?

A

No!

-if increase dose - increase side effects and no CV benefits

16
Q

What is dual platelet therapy? when ya gonna do it?

A

give Aspirin + ADP Antagonist

-give this ACS (acute coronary Syndrome)

17
Q

Stop clopidogrel (Plavix) ___ _____ before surgery

A

5 days

18
Q

CYP2C19 genetic variant testing with which drug? what we gonna do about it?

A

Adenosine Diphosphate Receptor (ADP) Antagonists
Prototype: clopidogrel (Plavix)

–poor metabolizers should use another ADP

19
Q

drug interaction with clopidogrel (Plavix)? what we gonna do about it?

A

PPI - but still give it

20
