Lepirudin mech:route:monitering:adverse rxn:use:contraindication:
-direct thrombin inhibitor, bind to thrombin catalytic site and to exosite 1-administered IV-excreted by kidneys-adverse effects: bleedinguse: alternative to heparin in pt undergoing coronary angioplasty or cardiopulmonary bypass sxcontraindication: bleeding, recent sx, uncontrolled HTN, renal disease
Bivalirudin mech:route:monitering:adverse rxn:use:contraindication:
-direct thrombin inhibitor, bind to thrombin catalytic site and exosite 1-administered IV-excreted by kidney-adverse effects: bleedinguse: alternative to heparin in pts undergoing coronary angioplasty or cardiopulmonary bypass sxcontraindication: active bleeding, renal disease, uncontrolled HTN
Fondaparinux mech:route:monitering:adverse rxn:use:contraindication:
-antithrombin mediated selective inhibition of factor Xa -subQ injection- adverse effects: bleedinguse: prophylaxis of DVT, alternative to heparin in pt with hx of HITcontraindication: bleeding, renal impairment
Protamine sulfate mech:route:monitering:adverse rxn:use:contraindication:
-heparin antagonist/antidote-positive charge, binds with high affinity to negatively charged heparin, forming inactive complex-use: reverse heparin after bypass
warfarin mech:route:monitering:adverse rxn:use:contraindication:
-structural analog to vit K, targets VKORC1-S-warfarin prevents reductive metabolism of the inactive vit k oxide back to its active reduced form, which is needed to activate coagulation factors II, VII, IX, X (causes inactivated coagulation factors to be produced)-monitoring: PT and INR 2-3-oral admin-adverse rxn: bleedingTERATOGENIC-do not use during pregnancyuse: treat venous thromboembolitic disease anecdote: admin vitamin K (competitive inhibition) or frozen fresh plasma (FFP) CYP2C9 responsible for metabolism
Dabigatran mech:route:monitering:adverse rxn:use:contraindication:
-new oral anticoagulant (NOAC)-prodrug converted to active dabigatran, prodrug is a substrate for P-gp (pumps drug back into GI lumen)-oral admin-reversible, direct binding to both FREE thrombin and FIBRIN BOUND thrombin
Rivaroxaban mech:route:monitering:adverse rxn:use:contraindication:
-new oral anticoagulant (NOAC)-direct factor Xa inhibitor (prevent prothrombin to thrombin conversion)-oral admin-metabolism by both kidney and liver-adverse effects: bleedinguse: prophylaxis of DVT
Tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA)
-endogenous, synthesized by vascular endothelial cells-binds to fibrin/plasminogen complex, converts plasminogen to active form plasmin, which then cleaves fibrin (break down clot)
Alteplase mech:route:monitering:adverse rxn:use:contraindication:
-exogenous, drug-binds to fibrin/plasminogen complex, converts plasminogen to active form plasmin, which then cleaves fibrin (break down clot)-continuous IV admin-adverse effects: systemic lytic state results from systemic formation of plasmin-use: acute MI, treat PE or DVT, treat stroke within first 3 hourscontraindication: active bleeding, hx of CVA, uncontrolled HTN, pregnancy
Aminocaproic acid what is it:mech:use:
-synthetic lysine analog, binds to lysine binding site of plasminogen and plasmin, blocking the binding of plasmin to fibrin-use: decreasing hemorrhage after surgical procedure
Aspirin mech:route:monitering:adverse rxn:use:contraindication:
-mech: irreversible inhibition of platelet COX 1 and COX 2 (COX 1 in the platelet), block TxA2 production, inhibit platelet aggregation-adverse effects: bleeding, GI irritation-use: MI prophylaxis, acute phase of ischemic stroke, acute MI, unstable angina
Dipyridamole mech:route:monitering:adverse rxn:use:contraindication:
mech: phosphodiesterase inhibition/blockade of uptake of adenosine, increase cAMP--inhibit platelet aggregation-oral admin-adverse effects: headache, GI upset, dizzinessuse: prevention of thromboembolitic in pt with prosthetic valve
Clopidogrel, Ticlopidine, Prasugrel, Ticagrelor mech:route:monitering:adverse rxn:use:contraindication:which are prodrugs?
mech: inhibit ADP binding to the P2Y12 receptor, decrease platelet activation and aggregation-clopidegrel, ticlopidine, ticlopidine--PRODRUGS-ticagrelor--REVERSIBLE-prasugrel--higher potency, more rapid onset, more consistent level of platelet inhibition than clopidogreladverse effects: increase risk of bleeding, TICLOPIDINE may cause severe neutropenia
Abciximabmech: adverse effects:use:
-Fab fragment of monoclonal antibody, binds to GP IIb/IIIa-prevents platelet aggregation by binding to receptor and inhibiting fibrinogen binding and cross linking of platelets-IV adminadverse effects: bleeding, thrombocytopenia, hypotension, bradycardia-use: prevent platelet aggregation
Eptifibatidemech:adverse effects:use:
mech: competitive reversible inhibitor of fibrinogen binding to GP IIb/IIIaadverse effects: bleeding, use cautiously in pts with renal dysfunctionuse: pt with unstable angina, MI, prevent coronary thrombosis
