| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| How do antiplatelet agents (ADP Inhibitors) Plavix and Effien work? | Bind to ADP receptors on platelets |
| What are examples of ADP inhibitors? | Plavix and Effien |
| How do antiplatelet agents (Thromboxane A2 Inhibitor) work? | Aspirin prevents cyclo-oxygenase from producing the prostaglandin TXA2 |

| How does integrilin work as an antiplatelet? | Blocks fibrin from binding to GP IIb/IIIa receptors |
| How do thrombolytic/fibrinolytic drugs work and what are they called? | Tissue plasminogen activators convert plasminogen to plasmin which breaks up fibrin strands holding clot together |
