| Adverse effects eptifibatide, abciximab, tirofiban | major bleeding, intracerebral hemorrhage |
| Clinical applications abciximab | adjunct to percutaneous coronary intervention or atherectomy to prevent acute cardiac ischemic complications, unstable angina |
| Clinical applications tirofiban | acute coronary syndromes in patent undergoing angioplasty or atherectomy of managed medically |
| Warfarin MOA | Inhibit hepatic epoxide reductase that catalyzes the regeneration of reduced vitamin K, which is required for synthesis of biologically active coagulation factos II, VII, IX, X and anticoagulant proteins C and S |
| Clinical applications warfarin | Prophylaxis and treatment of PE, DVT, systemic embolism |
| Adverse effects warfarin | Skin and other tissue necrosis(promptly give FPP), hemorrhage |
| Contraindications warfarin | pregnancy, hemorrhagic tendency or blood dyscrasia, bleeding tendency associated with active ulceration, etc. |
| What needs to be monitored with warfarin usage? | PT |
| What decreases the effect of warfarin? | cholestyramine; carbamazepine, barbiturates, benzodiazapenes, rifampin; vitamin K |
| What increases the effect of warfarin? | chloralhydrate; amiodarone; clopidogrel, ethanol, fluconazole, fluoxetine, metronidazole, sulfamethoxazole; broad spectrum antibiotics; anabolic steroids (testosterone) |
| MOA unfractionated heparin | combines with antithrombin III and inhibits secondary hemostasis via nonselective inactivation of thrombin(factor IIa), factor Xa, factor IXa, factor XIa, and factor XIIa |
| MOA LMW heparin | combine with antithrombin III and inhibit secondary hemostasis via relatively (3-fold) selective inactivation of factor Xa |
| Clinical applications unfractionated heparin | prevention and treatment of PE, DVT, cerebral thrombosis, or left ventricular thrombus; prevention of systemic embolism associated with MI; unstable angina |
| Adverse effects unfractionated heparin | hemorrhage, HIT, intracerebral hemorrhage |
| Contraindications unfractionated heparin | HIT, active major bleeding, bleeding tendencies, suspected intracranial hemorrhage |
| LMW heparins | enoxaparin, dalteparin, tinzaparin |
| Clinical applications enoxaparin, dalteparin, tinzaparin | Prevention and treatment of DVT, Treatment of acute coronary syndromes and adjunct to percutaneous coronary intervention (enoxaparin and dalteparin) |
| Adverse effects enoxaparin, dalteparin, tinzaparin | Hemorrhage, thrombocytopenia |
| Contraindications enoxaparin, dalteparin, tinzaparin | active major bleeding, HIT, Renal insufficiency |
| MOA fondaparinux | combine with antithrombin III and inhibits secondary hemostasis via highly selective inactivation of factor Xa |
| Clinical applications fondaparinux | prophylaxis and treatment of DVT and PE |
| Adverse effects fondaparinux | hemorrhage, thrombocytopenia |
| Contraindications fondaparinux | Active major bleeding, severe renal impairment |
| Direct Thrombin Inhibitors | Hirudin related agents - lepirudin, desirudin, bivalirudin; argatroban |
| Clinical applications lepirudin | HIT (inhibits both free and fibrin-bound thrombin) |
| Clinical applications desirudin | prophylaxis against DVT |
| Clinical application bivalirudin | anticoagulation in patients undergoing coronary angiography and angioplasty |
| Adverse effects lepirudin, desirudin, bivalirudin | HF, bleeding |
| Contraindications lepirudin, desirudin, bivalirudin | Active major bleeding |
| Clinical applications argatroban | HIT (dose adjustment is required in patients with liver disease because argatroban is excreted in the bile) |
| MOA r-APC | proteolytically inactivates factors Va and VIIIa; may also exert anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting TNF production and blocking leukocyte adhesion to selectins |
