30
Q

LMWH Activity

A

more specific to F10, better bioavailability, longer half-life, less incidence of HIT, can be administered subcutaneously and w/o lab monitoring, not easily reversible

31
Q

LMWH Reversal

A

not easily reversible

32
Q

These drugs are alternatives to Heparin for pts w/HIT

A

Direct Thrombin Inhibitors (Bivalirudin, Argatroban, Dabigatran)

33
Q

Direct Thrombin Inhibitor Drugs

A

Bivalirudin, Argatroban, Dabigatran

34
Q

This GpIIb/IIIa inhibitor can cause allergic rxns w/readministration

A

Abciximab

35
Q

Heparin Bridge

A

Warfarin rapidly depletes Proteins C + S, leaving pt hypercoaguable in 1st few days –> use Heparin/LMWH as “bridge” for not less than 4 days when starting warfarin for the first time or restarting it after a hospitalization or procedure to prevent clotting –> check INR

36
Q

Warfarin (Coumarin) MOA

A

inhibits Vit K epoxide reductase –> interferes w/gamma-carboxylation of F2, 7, 9, 10, Proteins C + S
Metabolism affected by polymorphisms in VKORC1 gene
Long half-life (war lasts a long time!)
Monitor PT-INR

37
Q

Warfarin Clinical Use

A

Chronic anticoagulation: DVT prophylaxis, prevention of stroke in afib
C/I in pregnancy – crosses placenta (don’t wage war on baby)

38
Q

Warfarin Toxicity

A

Skin necrosis (small vessel microthromboses), teratogen, bleeding, drug-drug interaxns

39
Q

Warfarin Reversal

A

FFP (immediate); Vitamin K

40
Q

How does Rifampin affect Warfarin metabolism?

A

Rifampin is a 2C9 inducer –> need to increase Warfarin dose to get same effect

41
Q

Which drugs can displace Warfarin from albumin?

A

Phenytoin, High Dose Aspirin

42
Q

Which drugs are 2C19 inhibitors, and how do they affect Warfarin?

A

azoles, amiodarone, SSRIs, metronidazole, sulfonamides, omeprazole –> need to decrease Warfarin dose b/c not metabolized as quickly

43
Q

how do herbals affect Warfarin?

A

ginger, garlic, ginko, and feverfew can increase Warfarin effect

44
Q

how can long-term antibiotic therapy affect Warfarin?

A

long-term antibiotics decrease gut flora –> decrease Vit K –> increase Warfarin effect

45
Q

how can cholestyramine affect Warfarin?

A

reduced absorption –> reduce Warfarin effect

46
Q

Which LMWH is most specific for F10?

A

Fondaparinux

47
Q

Factor 10 Inhibitor Drugs

A

Rivaroxaban, Apixaban
