Q

Warfarin

A
  • MOA: inhibits vitamin K (epoxied reductase)
    ~ inhibits factors in intrinsic path factor (typically about 24 hrs) and protein C at about 9 hours
  • indication: prevention of stroke in Afib, trt of DVT, PE
  • Sx: cat X, bleeding, purple toe syndrome, skin necrosis
  • warfarin paradox
  • Category X

Q

Thrombolytics (streptokinase, recombinant TPA, tenecteplase)

A
  • MOA: activates plasmin
    ~ streptokinase: converts plasminogen
    ~ TPA et al: fibrin in fresh clot -> conformational change
  • indication:
    ~ ischemic stroke (TPA)
    ~ ST-elevation MI (MI)
    ~ PE (TPA, streptokinase)
  • Cind: bleeding risk, STK - previous exposure (anapalaxis)

  • adp inhibitors (theinopyradines, ticargrelor)
  • GPIIa/IIIb inhibitors (eptifibatide, abciximab, tirofiban)

Q

Cox inhibor: aspirin MOA and Cind

Q

ticlopidine, clopedigrel, prasugrel (theinopyradines)

Ticargrelor

A
  • ADP inhibitors
  • MOA: prodrugs; inhibition of ADP P2Y12 -> agg inhibition
    ~ thienos: irreversible
    ~ ticargrelor: reversible and higher binding affinity
  • Cind:
    ~ prasugrel: 75+ y/o
    ~ ticargrelor: use of > 100g ASA, 3A4 inhibition
  • Sx:
    ~ ticlopidine: hemeotoxic not used
    ~ bleeding: clopedigrel lowest risk

Q

GPIIb/IIIb inhibitors

A
  • MOA: blocks cross linking of platelets via fibrinogen
  • e.g. Eptifibatide, abciximab (percutanous only), tirofiban
  • indication: acute coronary syndrome
  • Cind: history if stroke, tcytopenia
  • Sx: bleeding, tcytopenia (more common with abciximab)
16
Q

dipyridamole

A
  • MOA: phosphodiesterase inhibitor
    ~ decreases (weakest of all the classes) aggregation and
    vasodilates
  • indication: stroke prevention (w/ aspirin)
  • Sx: bleeding, coronary steal, HA
17
Q

Clotting facilitators

A
- vitamin K (oral or IV) 2-6 hr onset
    ~ req bile salts for absorption 
- factors: 7,8 and 9
- desmopressin acetate
- prothrombin complex concentrate 
- cryoprecipitate (contains fibrinogen)
18
Q

Fibrinolytic inhibitors

A
  • lysine analogues: aminocaproic acid (amicar), transexamic acid
  • MOA: bind and inhibit plasmin and plasminogen
  • indications:
    ~ transexamic: menorrahgia
    ~ aminocaproic: prevention of rebleeding after surgery
19

P2Y12

A
  • target for clopedigrel, ticlopidine, prasurgel

  • ticargrelor: reversible
20
