Drugs Used to Prevent or Treat Thromboembolic Disorders Flashcards
Antiplatelet and coag vs. thrombolytics
Antiplatelet and coag - inhibit formation of clots
Thombolytics - lyse clots
Antidepressants and platelets
Increased serotonin release so can lead to risk of bleeding
Aspirin MOA
Irreversible inhibitor (of mostly COX1) COX1 constitutive in platelets INhibits TXA2 formation No TXA2 can stimulate TP receptor Inhibits platelet aggregation for the life of the platelet
Other NSAIDs
Are reversible…may compete with aspirin and decrease its effectiveness
Uses of aspirin and route of delivery
Oral
Acutely in patients (MI or PCI)
Prophylaxis to prevent primary or secondary CV events
Other aspirin uses
Antipyretic
Analgesic
Anti-inflammatory
All at higher doses
Aspirin adverse effects and contraindications
Profound bleeding and bruising
Increased risk of heartburn and PUD due to inhibited gastric PG synthesis (less at lower dose)
Hypersensitivity of ASA or asthma
Aspirin PK
Half life short
Therapeutic effect 7-10 days
Clopidogrel MOA and use
Prodrug
Irreversible antagonist of ADP receptor P2Y12
Prevents ADP induced decrease in cAMP and thus prevents aggregation
similar to aspirin use
Clopidogrel metabolism and PK
CYP2C19 metabolized...2 steps Don't use with CYP2C19 inhibitors (omeprazole) Therapeutic is 7-10 days Oral Genetic variation of CYP2C19
Adverse effects of clopidogrel
Bruising and bleeding
Vorapaxar MOA and therapeutic use
Antagonist of protease activated receptor 1 (PAR1) thus prevents platelet activation by thrombin via this receptor
Only in patients with history of peripheral artery dz or previous MI…use with aspirin and/or clopidogrel
Vorapaxar adverse effects, contraindicated, and drug interactions
Increased bleeding
Patients with history of hemorrhage or TIA (transient ischemic attacks)
NSAIDs, SSRIs, SSNIs, and strong CYP3A4 modifeiers
Abciximab MOA and route
IV
GP2B/3A antagonist block platelet aggregation by preventing fibrinogen from binding platelets and consolidating platelet plug
Prevents platelet adhesion and aggregation by ANY stimulus
Prevents prothrombin from binding to platelets —– decreases thrombin formed—-anticoagulant
Monoclonal AB
Uses of abciximab
Emergency tx of acute coronary syndromes
During PCI
Crisis situations
Adverse effects and PK of abciximab
Bleeding
Half life of about 30 minutes
Gp2b/3a bound for 18-24 hours
PLatlet function back in 48 hours
Heparin route and MOA
IV, SC
Complex with AT and increases activity
Inactivates factors 2, 9, and 10 as suicide substrate
