Drugs Affecting Blood Coagulation T-2 Flashcards
What are two types for blood disorders?
- Thromboembolic disorder
- Hemorrhagic disorder
Conditions that predispose a person to the formation of clots and emboli is called?
Thromboembolic disorder
A disorder in which excess bleeding occurs is called?
Hemorrhagic disorder
What are the actions of anticoagulants?
Interfere with the clotting cascade and thrombin formation
Antiplatelets alter the formation of?
The platelet plug
Thrombolytic drugs breakdown?
The thrombus that has been formed by stimulating the plasmid system.
What drug inhibits platelet adhesion and aggregation by blocking receptors sites on the platelet membrane and blocks the production of platelets in the bone marrow (anagrelide)?
Antiplatelets
What are the indications for antiplatelets?
To reduce the risk of recurrence t TIAs or strokes; reduce death or non fatal MI; MI prophylaxis; anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic effects.
What are contraindications of platelets?
- allergy
- pregnancy
- lacatation
Cautions for antiplatelets:

- recent surgery
- closed-head surgery
Adverse effects of antiplatelets?
- bleeding
- headache
- dizziness

- argatroban (acova)
- buvalirudin (angiomax)
What anticoag maintains a state of anticoagulation when a patient is susceptible to potentially dangerous clot formation?
Warfarin (coumadin)
What anticoag inhibits the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin?
Heparin
What anticoag is used for hereditary anthithrombin III deficiencies replacement therapy in congenital antithrombin III deficiency?
Antithrombin (thrombate iii)
What anticoag is used to treat thrombosis in heparin-induced thrombocytopenia?
