names of blood thining medicines?

Question

blood thiong medicines

Answer 1

Heparin-affects clotting cascade
Warfarin-affects clotting by antagonizing Vit K
Aspirin-antiplatelet
Clopidogrel-blocks platelet adhesion via ADP receptor blockade
Dipyrimidole-phosphodiesterase inhibitor--antiplatelet
Ticlopidine-blocks ADP receptors/platelet adhesion
Hirudin-from leeches-affects clotting cascade
Fragmin-Low weight molecular heparin-same mech as heparin

Answer 2

Blood thinning medicines used for clinical purposes can be broadly classified into 3 categories. They are i) drugs which affect platelet functions (anti platelets: aspirin, clopidogrel), ii) drugs which affect clotting factors (anti coagulants: warfarin, heparin, enoxaparin, dalteparin) and iii) drugs which destroy the clots already formed (Fibrinolytic agents: streptokinase, urokinase, recombinant tissue plasminogen activator).

The clinician chooses one of the above medicines on the basis of the purpose for which the blood needs to be thinned.

Common clinical conditions which warrant blood thinning are protection against or treatment of (stroke, heart attack, clots in the legs or lungs), artificial heart valves or artificial blood vessels.

Answer 3

Warfarin, Coumadin are the two most common prescription blood thinners. But aspirin and Cox 2 inhibitors (like Celebrex and Alleve) are also blood thinnners.

Answer 4

There are the LMWH(low molecular weight heparin) such as:
Ardeparin (Normiflo) 5,000 U in 0.5 mL; 10,000 U in 0.5 mL 50 U per kg SC on the evening of the day of surgery or the following morning, then every 12 hours for 14 days or until ambulatory
Dalteparin (Fragmin) 16 mg per 0.2 mL; 32 mg per 0.2 mL 2,500 IU SC 1 to 2 hours before surgery, then 2,500 IU every day for 5 to 10 days
High-risk patients: 5,000 IU SC the evening before surgery, then 5,000 IU every day for 5 to 10 days
Danaparoid (Orgaran) 750 U per 0.6 mL 750 U SC 1 to 4 hours before surgery, then 750 U every 12 hours for 7 to 10 days
Enoxaparin (Lovenox) 30 mg per 0.3 mL; 40 mg per 0.4 mL 30 mg SC every 12 hours or 40 mg every day for 7 to 10 days, depending on the type of surgery (hip, knee, abdomen); therapy should begin postoperatively.

APPRAISE-1 Study: Apixiban (Factor Xa Inhibitor) in addition to aspirin and plavix in post ACS patients.
Apixiban is a specific blood thinner as it targets only factor Xa of the clotting mechanism of the body.

Answer 5

coumadin and warafin? I think I spelled the last one wrong. Coumadin is usually what doctor's perscribe and don't drink alcohol while taking blood thinners it could be fatal.

Answer 6

Coumadin....aka Wafarin.....Aspirin...Altace...

Answer 7

heparin
