Anticoagulant Reversing Agents and Antiplatelet Drugs Summary

Anticoagulant reversing agents include Vitamin K, KCENTRA® (prothrombin complex concentrate-human), protamine sulfate, idarucizumab (PraxBind), and Andexxa®.
Antiplatelet drugs such as aspirin, prasugrel, clopidogrel, ticagrelor, abciximab, eptifibatide, tirofiban, cilostazol, and dipyridamole are used to prevent pathological thrombus formation.
Aspirin irreversibly inhibits cyclooxygenase, preventing thromboxane A2 (TXA2) formation and platelet aggregation for the lifespan of the platelet.
Aspirin is administered to patients with myocardial infarction, for secondary prevention of MI and stroke, primary prevention of cardiovascular disease, and reducing thromboembolic complications in specific patients.
Other antiplatelet drugs like cilostazol and dipyridamole inhibit platelet aggregation and stimulate vasodilation for the reduction of symptoms of intermittent claudication.
Abciximab, eptifibatide, and tirofiban are approved for acute coronary syndromes, while clopidogrel, prasugrel, and ticagrelor are used for the prophylaxis of stroke, MI, peripheral arterial disease, and acute coronary syndrome.
Ticlopidine is approved for the prevention of thrombotic stroke, while pentoxifylline is indicated for intermittent claudication and chronic occlusive arterial disease of the limbs.
Therapeutic objectives involving anticoagulant drugs like heparin and warfarin aim to prevent the formation of pathological thrombus and arterial damage, as well as inhibit platelet aggregation.
Fibrinolytic drugs like rtPA, reteplase, streptokinase, and urokinase are used to destroy preformed pathological thrombus in special situations.
Heparin, the drug of choice for parenteral anticoagulant therapy, binds to antithrombin III and inactivates coagulation factors of common and intrinsic pathways.
Heparin is administered through continuous IV, intermittent IV (not recommended), and subcutaneous routes for post-surgery prophylaxis.
Heparin pharmacokinetics involve immediate anticoagulant onset with IV administration, while subcutaneous administration begins in 20-30 minutes with a duration of 12-24 hours.
