Heme Onc Pharm Flashcards
heparin MOA
activates antithrombin III and decreases thrombin and factor Xa
how do you follow heparin values in the lab
PTT
Do you use warfarin or heparin for DVT prevention during pregnancy?
heparin
antidote for heparin
protamine sulfate
LMWH vs. unfractionated heparin in terms of half life
LMWH halflife is much longer
LMWH moa
act more on Xa than thrombin
what is heparin induced thrombocytopenia?
IgG antibodies against heparin-bound platelet factor 4 –> complex activates platelets –> can cause both thrombosis and thrombocytopenia
How do you treat heparin-induced thrombocytopenia?
direct thrombin inhibitors (argatroban bivalirudin dabigatran)
how do you track warfarin effect?
PT INR (want INR to be between 2-3)
how is warfarin administered vs. heparin?
warfarin = oral heparin is subq or IV
apixaban MOA
bind to and directly inhibit factor Xa
rivoroxaban moa
bind to and directly inhibit factor Xa
alteplase MOA
directly or indirectly aid conversion of plasminogen to plasmin which cleaves thrombin and fibrin clots
reteplase MOA
directly or indirectly aid conversion of plasminogen to plasmin which cleaves thrombin and fibrin clots
stretokinase MOA
directly or indirectly aid conversion of plasminogen to plasmin which cleaves thrombin and fibrin clots
tenecteplase moa
directly or indirectly aid conversion of plasminogen to plasmin which cleaves thrombin and fibrin clots
how do thrombolytics (such as fibrinolytics) change lab values?
increase PT and PTT by decreasing fibrin (common pathway)
how do you treat thrombolytics (alteplase reteplase…) overdose/toxicity?
aminocaproic acid FFP or cryoprecipitate)
how does aspirin irreversibily inhibit COX-1 and COX-2
covalent acetylation
how does aspirin affect pt and ptt
doesn’t!
clopidoral MOA
inhibits platelet aggregation by irreversibly blocking ADP receptor on platelets - prevents expression of gp IIb/IIIa on platelet surface
prasugrel MOA
inhibits platelet aggregation by irreversibly blocking ADP receptor on platelets - prevents expression of gp IIb/IIIa on platelet surface
ticlopidine MOA
inhibits platelet aggregation by irreversibly blocking ADP receptor on platelets - prevents expression of gp IIb/IIIa on platelet surface
ticlopidine toxicity
neutropenia (presents with fever and mouth ulcers)
cilostazol MOA
phosphodiesterase III inhibitor –> increases cAMP in platelets
dipyridamole moa
phosphodiesterase III inhibitor –> increases cAMP in platelets resulting inhibition of platelet aggregation. Also vasodilates.
Abciximab MOA
binds to gp IIb/IIIa on activated platelets preventing aggregation. made of monoclonal antibody Fab fragments
eptifibatide MOA
binds to gp IIb/IIIa on activated platelets preventing aggregation. made of monoclonal antibody Fab fragments
tirofiban MOA
binds to gp IIb/IIIa on activated platelets preventing aggregation. made of monoclonal antibody Fab fragments
