A

subcut

Do NOT use in pts w/renal failure

27
Q

Direct thrombin inhibitor SEs?

A

bleeding if they accumulate

28
Q

Fondaparinux SEs

A

bleeding

much less likely to cause thrombocytopenia

29
Q

Warfarin mechanism?

A

inhibits vitamin K epoxide, which recycles vit K back to it’s active form

30
Q

What requires Vit K?

A

facotrs 2,7,9,10, protein C, protein S

31
Q

Which enantiomer of warfarin ia most active?

A

S

32
Q

What metabolizes warfarin?

A

CYP2C9

33
Q

Polymorphisms in which protein affects dosing?

A

VKORC1

affects the susceptibility of hte enzyme to warfarin induced inhibition

34
Q

Warfarin SEs?

A

bleeding
birth defects/abortion
skin necrosis
purple toe syndrome

35
Q

What is the oral direct thrombin inhibitor?

A

dabigatran

36
Q

Metab of dabigatran?

A

renal excretion

37
Q

What drug should NOT be administered with dabigatran?

A

rifampin

both are Pgp substrates

38
Q

Dabigatran SEs?

A

bleeding

39
Q

What is the orally available direct factor Xa inhibitor?

A

Rivaroxaban

40
Q

What does factor Xa do?

A

converts prothrombin to thrombin

41
Q

How is rivaroxaban eliminated?

A

unchanged by kidneys or metabolized by liver

42
Q

What are the thrombolytic agent?

A

alteplase

43
Q

Mechanism of alteplase?

A

plasminogen activator

44
Q

alteplase admin?

A

bolus dose over 1 min followed by infusion

45
Q

A

aspirin
clopidogrel/ticlopidine/prasugrel/ticagrelor
dipyridamole
abciximab/eptifibatide

47
Q

Mehcanism of aspirin

A

inhibits platelet aggregation by irreversibly inhibiting COX

block PG and TXA2 production

48
Q

Where is aspirin absorbed?

A

upper GI tract

49
Q

Aspirin SEs

A

bleeding

GI irritation

50
Q

What are the ADP receptor blockers?

A

clopidogrel, ticlopidine, prasurgrel, ticagrelor

51
Q

Mechansim of clopidogrel et al?

A

except for ticagrelor, irreversible antagonists

52
Q

What metabolises Clopidogrel/ticlopidine?

A
