Question 7

Class and MOA of Abciximab

Answer 7

Antiplatelet drug: GPIIa/IIIa inhibitor

inhibits platelet aggregation by interfering with GPIIa/IIIa binding to fibrinogen and other ligands

Question 8

Class and MOA of Clopidogrel

Answer 8

Antiplatelet drug: ADP inhibitor

irreversibly inhibits binding of ADP to platelet receptors, reducing platelet aggregation
