| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Brand Name Coumadin | Generic Name warfarin sodium |
| Coumadin/Warfarin | Oral anticoagulation therapy. Blocks intrinsic pathway. Inhibity syntesis of Vit K. Prevents growth of formed clots. |
| Brand Name Heparin | Generic Name heparin |
| Heparin | Injectable anticoagulation therapy. Works immediately. Inhibits clots by blocking fiber production. |
| Brand Name Reopro | Generic Name abciximab |
