Study Notes
Fibrinolytic Drugs & Hemostatic Agents
- Fibrinolytic drugs dissolve blood clots by converting plasminogen to plasmin.
- Hemostatic agents stop bleeding by promoting blood clotting.
- Alteplase is used to treat ischemic stroke when administered within 3 hours of symptom onset.
- Streptokinase can cause excessive bleeding.
- Abciximab is not used for ischemic stroke.
- Warfarin is an anticoagulant that increases the INR (International Normalized Ratio) to prevent blood clots.
- Vitamin K1 is used to reverse the effects of warfarin.
- Desmopressin is not used to treat warfarin overdose.
- Dabigatran is a direct thrombin inhibitor used to prevent blood clots.
- Idarucizumab is a specific antidote for dabigatran.
