Drugs Affecting blood coagulation Flashcards
Oral Antiplatelet agents
Anagrelide (Agrylin)
ASA
clopidogrel (Plavix)
IV Antiplatelet agents
abciximab (Reopro)
eptifidatide (Integrillin)
tirofiban (Aggrastat)
oral antiplatelet prototype
ASA
Actions of ASA
Inhibits platelet aggregation by inhibiting platelet synthesis of thromboxane A2.
Indications for ASA
reduction of risk of recurrent TIAs or stroke w/ a history of TIA d/t fibrin or platelet emboli; s/p MI and in pts w/ unstable angina. MI prophylaxis also used for anit-inflammatrory, analgesiic, and antipyretic effects.
Pharmo of ASA
Route- oral Onset- 5-30 min Peak - 0.25-2 h Dx- 3-6 h T 1/2- 15 min to 12 h; metabolized in liver and excreted in urine.
Adverse effects for ASA
acute ASA toxicity w/ hyperpnea, possibly leading to fever, coma, and cardiovascular collapse; N, dyspepsia, heartburn, epigastric discomfort, GI bleeding, occult blood loss, dizziness, tinnitus, difficulty hearing, anaphylactiod rxn.
Caution for ASA
bleeding disorder,recent surgery, closed- head injury.
Special info oral antiplatets.
Eat small meals to buffer. est baseline CBC and clotting studies. Monitor platelet count if indicated. safety measures to decrease risk of bleeding. Increase bleeding precautions during invasive procedures. provide pt teaching- medical alert device.
Anticoagulants
warfarin (Coumadin)- oral onset of action is 3 days
heparin - IV or SubQ onset is immediate.
D2D interaction with anticoagulants
Warfarin- interacts w/ many drugs. Monitor pts when drug regimen is change. Pts should maintain consistent intake of Vit K food.
Heparin- decreased anticogaulation when pts taking NTG.
actions of heparin
inhibits thrombus and clot production by blocking the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin and fibrinogen to fibrin.
Indications for heparin
prevention and treatment of venous thrombosis and pulmonary emboli; treatment of Afib w/ embolization; dx and treatment of DIC; prevention of clotting in blood samples and heparin locksets.
parmo for heparin
Route- IV and SQ Onset- immediate, 20-60 min Peak- min, 2-4 h Dx- 2-6h, 8-12 h T 1/2 30 to 180 min; metabolized in cells and excreted in urine.
Adverse effects of heparin
loss of hair, bruising, chills, fever, osteoporsis, suppression of renal function,
