Pharm III Hematology Flashcards
Aspirin
Anti-platelet Prostaglandin COX 1 and 2 irrversible Inhibitor. Preg: C/D
Results in decreased production of TXA2 from Arachidonic acid. Stop 7-10 days prior to Sx
Primary prevention of stroke and CA, Stemi/UNSTEMI
Reye’s Syndrome w/ tx Chicken pox or Inluenza
Dipyridamole
Stimulates prostacyclin synth.; inhibits the uptake of Adenosine into platelets; inhibits platelet aggregation
Combo w/ Aspirin for Cerebral Ischemia; Alone no beneficial effect; worsens ischemia (Steal phenomen)
Cilostazol
Phosphodiesterase III Inhibitor; Inhibits cAMP breakdown reversibly inhibits platelet aggregation
Intermittent Claudication; Enhances Aspirin platelet inhibition. CI; Heart Failure any severity
Vorapaxar
Protease-activated receptor-1 Antagonist expressed on platelet;
Antithrombotic; MI, PAD, w/ Aspirin or Clopidrogel.
Not for ACS
Cangrelor (P2y12)
Inhibits binding of ADP to P2Y12 Rec. Indications: Periprocedural MI and Coronary revascul., stent thrombosis
Adjunct to percutaneous Coronary Intervention. For Patients not on P2Y12 or GP IIb/IIIa
Clopidogrel (P2y12)
Irreversible Inhibits binding of ADP to P2Y12–> Inhibition of GPIIb/IIIa Rec. required for platelet aggreg.
Use: Prevents Atherosclerotic events; Recent stroke, MI, Peripheral Artery Disease; Prophylaxis U-Angina; Reduce HA, stroke and CV death
Prasugrel (P2y12)
Irreversible Inhibits binding of ADP to P2Y12–> Inhibition of GPIIb/IIIa Rec. required for platelet aggreg.
Use; Prevent CV event post PCI in ACS along w Aspirin
CI: > 75 y/o
Ticagrelor
Reversibly inhibits the binding of ADP to its P2Y12 Rec.
–> Inhibition of GPIIb/IIIa Rec. required for platelet aggreg
Use: Reduce rate of Thrombotic cardiovascular events in Pts w/ ACS, U-Angina, NSTEMI, STEMI, MI
CI: Decrease effectiveness w/ Aspirin >100mg
ABciximab (GPIIb/IIIa Inhibitor)
Fragment of a monoclonal Ab. causes stearic hindrance near the GP binding site. Prevents adhesion
Use: Adjunct to PCI prevention of Cardiac Ischemic complications in Pts undergoing PCI; None responding U-Angina to conventional therapy;Adjust not necessary
Eptifibatide (GPIIb/IIIa Inhibitor)
Reversibly inhibit binding of fibrin to the GP IIb-IIIa Rec.
Not Monoclonal Antibodies (Ab) Less immunogenic
Use; With Heparin and Aspirin in ACS and PCI to reduce thrombotic events. Special dose for Renal Pts
Heparin UFH (Anticoagulant) Indirect Inhibitor
Indirect Thrombin; Binds to Anti-Thrombin III and speed its ability Coagulation factors (Thrombin). Natural Occur.
Less HIT Risk min. Monitor, Preferred for pregnancy,
Use; Reduce Thrombi Expansion and formation.
Adverse Reaction; Heparin Induced ; Pregnancy C Thrombocytopenia; Osteoporosis and Hyperkalemia
Low Molecular Weight Heparin (Anticoagulant)
Binds to Anti-Thrombin III and inactivates Faction Xa
Reduces Thrombi Expansion prevent Thrombi formation
May be used in conjunction w/ Warfarin and Aspirin
