Blood Disorders
| Clopidogrel | Plavix | Anti-platelet Medicine Increased risks of bleeding | For blood clot prevention - interferes with platelet aggregation Use prophylactically in patients with previous coronary/vascular events TIA |
| Triclopidine | Ticlid | Anti-platelet medication Increased risk of bleeding | For blood clot prevention - interferes with platelet aggregation Use prophylactically in patients with previous coronary/vascular events TIA |
| NSAIDs | Ibuprofen | Used in blood clot prevention treatment Risk of bleeding | |
| Abciximab | Reopro | IV - glycoprotein 2b / 3A receptor antagonist | Anti-platelet medication IV; blood clot prevention Risk of bleeding |
| Eptifibatdie | Integrilin | IV - glycoprotein 2b / 3A receptor antagonist | Anti-platelet medication IV; blood clot prevention Risk of bleeding |
| Tirofiban | Aggrastat | IV - glycoprotein 2b / 3A receptor antagonist | Anti-platelet medication IV; blood clot prevention Risk of bleeding |
| Dipyridamole and ASA | Aggrenox | Prevents recurrent strokes | Anti-platelet combination medication Risk of bleeding |
| Aspirin ASA | Irreversibly binds to platelets | Anti-platelet medication low dose 81 mg | |
| Heparin | Anticoagulants; stops or slows down clotting process IV or SC Doesn't dissolve clot itself dash bodies natural process does Inhibits Factor XA and II (thrombin) & accelerates effects of anti-thrombin III | Antidote - Protamine Sulfate IV | Side effects - bleeding and thrombocytopenia (decreased platelet count) Requires direct patient monitoring with partial thromboplastin time PTT |
| LMWH - low molecular weight heparin | Anticoagulant medication - stops or slows down clotting process - SC No frequent dosing needed - once to twice a day No lab testing required | Binds to antithrombin III to inactivate factor XA which prevents clot formation | Similar effects and bleeding rates as heparin If patient gets thrombocytopenia from heparin they can with lmwh -Give direct thrombin inhibitor instead |
| Enoxaparin | Lovenox | LMWH - SC | |
| Dalteparin | Fragmin | LMWH SC | |
| Tinzaparin | Innohep | LMWH SC | |
| Lepirudin | Argatroban | Direct Thrombin Inhibitor | IV - |
| Fondaparinux | Arixtra | Factor Xa Inhibitor - SC | Treatment and blood clot prevention Used in patients with Heparin induced thrombocytopenia HIT |
| Warfarin | Coumadin | Prevents activation of clotting factors that require vitamin K Factors II, VII, IX and X | Many drug and food interactions - antibiotics and aspirin; Vit K Reverse effect - vitamin K Oral - Myphyton Injection - Aqua-Myphyton |
| Mephyton | Reverses effect of warfarin | PO, tablet | Vitamin K |
| Aqua-Mephyton | Reverses effect of warfarin | Injection | Vit K |
| DOACs - Direct oral anticoagulants | Treats Non-valvular atrial fibrillation AFib Peripheral artery disease PAD Venous thromboembolism VTE, DVT | Main advantage doesn't require routine lab monitoring | Severe bleeding can be treated with IV clotting factors |
| Dabigatran | Pradaxa | DOAC | Reversed by Idarucizumab - Praxbind |
| Apixaband | Eliquis | DOAC | |
| Betrixaband | BevyxXa | DOAC | |
| Rivaroxaban | Xarelto | DOAC | Reversed by: Andexanet Alfa - Andexxa |
| Edoxaban | Savaysa | DOAC | No reversals approved |
| Thrombolytic Agents | Used to dissolve newly formed clots, such as from mi or stroke | Interacts with anticoagulants, anti-platelet drugs, and NSAIDs - increases the risk of bleeding | Thrombolytics tPAs - tissue plasminogen activators |
| Streptokinase | Streptase | Thrombolytic | |
| Urokinase | Abbokinase | Thrombolytic | |
| Altaplase | Activase | tPA | |
| Reteplase | Retavase | tPA | |
| Tenecteplase | TNkinase | tPA | |
| Iron Therapy for microcytic anemia | 100-200mg Fe/day in divided doses for 6m Different forms have different absorption rates and tolerability | Side effects - constipation, diarrhea, dark stools, nausea, GI pain Iron and large amounts is toxic | Interactions Antacids, coffee, tea, and milk - decreases absorption Interferes with tetracycline and others' absorption Give between meals; at least 2 hours before antacid Increase absorption with vitamin C |
| Ferrous Sulfate | Iron Therapy | PO | microcytic anemia |
| Ferrous Gluconate | Iron Therapy | PO | microcytic anemia |
| Ferrous Fumarate | Iron Therapy | PO | microcytic anemia |
| Polysaccharide Iron Complexes | Iron Therapy | PO | microcytic anemia |
| InFeD | Iron Therapy | IV | microcytic anemia |
| Dex-Ferrum | Iron Therapy | IV | microcytic anemia |
| Sodium Ferric Gluconate Complex | Ferrlecit | Iron Therapy | microcytic anemia |
| Iron Sucrose | Venofer | Iron Therapy | Used in hemodialysis, microcytic anemia |
| Macrocitic anemia | Deficiency and vitamin B12 and or folic acid, in Paris DNA synthesis causing abnormal maturation of red blood cells causing large cells | Treatment Vitamin B12 intrinsic factor needs to be present for absorption Folic acid -rx 1 mg tablet, OTC.4 mg or 0.8 mg tablet | |
| Epoetin Alfa | Epogen Procrit | Chronic anemia and kidney disease treatment with erythropoiesis to stimulate red blood cell production | Side effects hypertension, thrombosis |
| Darbepoetin Alfa | Aranesp | Chronic anemia and kidney disease treatment with erythropoietin to stimulate red blood cell production | Side effects hypertension, thrombosis |
| Sickle cell anemia | Treatment pain management, chemotherapy, antibiotics, folic acid 1 mg per day needed | Analgesics - NSAIDs, acetaminophen, opioids | Extremely painful genetic disease |
| Hydroxyurea | Hydra Droxia | Decreases frequency of sickle cell crisis Decreases sickling of red blood cells and increases fetal hemoglobin production | Side effects bone marrow suppression - patients more prone to infection All immunizations need to be up to date Sometimes treated prophylactically with antibiotics |
| Aminocaproic Acid | Amicar | Hemophilia | Encourages coagulation after surgery |
| Tranexamic Acid | Cyklokapron | Hemophilia | Used short-term for tooth extractions |
