inhibitory effect on platelet activation and aggregation
Glycoprotein IIB/IIIA Inhibitors
Name the meds:
abciximab (ReoPro)
eptifibatide (Intergrilin)
tirofiban (Aggrastat)
ticagrelor (Brilinta)
What is the class and MOA
class: Adenosine Diphosphate Inhibitors (ADP)
MOA: Inhibitory effect on platelet activation and aggregation
tirofiban (Aggrastat)
What is class and MOA
Class: Glycoprotein IIB/IIIA Inhibitors
MOA: Inhibitory effect on platelet activation and aggregation
Atenolol
What is the Class and MOA
Class: Beta Blockers
Subclass: Migraine Headaches
MOA-Beta-1 adrenergic receptor blocker
enoxaparin (Lovenox)
What is the Class and MOA
Class: Anticoagulants
MOA: interfere with clotting cascade and thrombin formation
binds to antithrombin III and accelerates activity, inhibiting thrombin and factor Xa
Low Molecular Weight Heparin
Captopril
What is the Class and MOA
Class: Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor
MOA: stops angiotensin converting enzyme and inhibits the conversion of angiotensin 1 to angiotensin 2.
decreased angiotensin II equals decreased vasoconstriction which leads to reduced blood pressure
Metoprolol
What is the Class and MOA
Class: Beta Blockers
Subclass: Migraine Headaches
ACLS/PALS/NALS Advanced Life Support
MOA-Beta-1 adrenergic receptor blocker
glyceryl trinitrate
What is the Class and MOA
Class: Nitrates/Vasodilator
MOA: temporarily dilates narrowed blood vessels, improving blood flow to and from the heart
stimulates cGMP production, resulting is vascular smooth muscle relaxation
dalteparin (Fragmin)
What is the Class and MOA
Class: Anticogaulants
MOA: interfere with clotting cascade and thrombin formation
binds to antithrombin III and accelerates activity, inhibiting thrombin and factor Xa
Low Molecular Weight Heparin
Bisoprolol
What is the Class and MOA
Class: Beta Blockers
MOA-Beta-1 adrenergic receptor blocker
losartan (Cozaar)
What is the Class and MOA
Class: Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARBS)
MOA: selectively antagonizes angiotensin II At1 receptors
(Angiotensin II inhibitors)
