34
Q

Ravaroxaban and Apixaban adverse rxns + treatment of overdose

A

Bleeding (R ), Category C pregnancy

35
Q

Ravaroxaban and Apixaban drug-drug interactions

A

36
Q

Ravaroxaban and Apixaban advantages and disadvantages

A

A

Bleeding, gastric upset, pregnancy category C/D

41
Q

Aspirin drug-drug interactions

42
Q

Ticagrelor, Clopidogrel, Prasugrel MOA

A

Inhibits platelet ADP (P2Y12) receptor. C+P are irreversible. T is reversible

43
Q

Ticagrelor, Clopidogrel, Prasugrel pharmacokinetics

A

P+T are more efficacious than C. Onset 2 hrs, loading dose used, oral (C+P are once daily prodrugs, T is twice daily), C is activated by CYP2C19 then renal/fecal excretion, P is activated by CYP3A4, T is metabolized by CYP3A4 to active.
