ulcer
liver disease
ETOH

37
Q

Warfarin interactions

A

anticoagulants
avoid taking new meds
call provider before starting new meds

38
Q

what decreases the effect of warfarin

A

carbamazepine, phenytoin, oral contraceptives, rifampin

39
Q

Drugs that increase the effect of warfarin

A

antifunglas (azoles), cimetidine, amiodarone

40
Q

objective of warfarin monitoring

A

raise INR showing a longer time for blood to clot

41
Q

Warfarin toxicity

A

increased bleeding
control by omitting one or two doses (not stopping abruptly)

42
Q

Warfarin antidote

A

phytonadione (vitamin K)

43
Q

Phytonadione route

A

IV or PO
if IV dilute first and infuse slowly

44
Q

Phytonnadione ADR

A

anaphylactic reaction
flushing
hypotension
CV collapse

45
Q

Heparin and warfarin together

A

when pt needs anticoagulant and PO meds for home therapy
Heparin inhibits thrombin
warfarin inhibits Vit K clotting factors

46
Q

When is heparin discontinued in combined use with warfarin?

A

when INR is within therapeutic range

47
Q

Aspirin inhibits

A

cyclooxyrgenase

48
Q

ADR of inhibiting cyclooxyrgenase

A

GI bleed

49
Q

ADP receptor antagonists

A

clopidogrel
ticlopidine
ticagrelor

50
Q

eating precautions with warfarin

A

you can eat a regular amount of vitamin K as long as it is steady
when diet changes then INR changes and vitamin k levels change so therapy must be adjusted

51
Q

Aspirin inhibits … which inhibits … which is necessary for …

A

COX
synthesis of TXA2
platelet activation and vasoconstriction of VSM

52
Q

Warfarin onset

A

delayed

53
Q

A

rapid (direct thrombin inhibitor)

54
Q

Aspirin indications

A

ischemic stroke
angina
MI in pts with angina
acute MI
bypass surgery
stenting

55
Q

Aspirin ADR

A

bleeding, hemorrhagic stroke

56
Q

Asa can double bleeding for

A

7 days because the life of a platelet is 7-10 days

57
Q

stop ASA how long before surgery

A

one week

58

A

antiplatelet

59
Q
