An antithrombotic is a drug which inhibits the formation of thrombi.
An antithrombotic agent is a medication that helps prevent blood clots from forming in the blood vessels. These agents are used to reduce the risk of conditions such as heart attacks, strokes, and deep vein thrombosis. Examples of antithrombotic agents include aspirin, heparin, and warfarin.
yes
it is a term used used to describe the treatments or drugs (medication) to stop blood forming clots.
May interact with antithrombotic medicines, including aspirin, reducing blood clotting time. May interact negatively with psychotropic medications. May interact with other medications, studies emerging.
Innohep is in a class of drugs called antithrombotic drugs. It helps to prevent blood clots which are caused by deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.
Givinging a patient heparin or another antithrombotic therapy after an orthopedic surgery to prevent a blood clot would be an example of primary prevention in a hospital.

These are elastic stockings which exert a set amount of pressure on one's legs. This helps blood return through the veins towards the heart. They prevent blood clots from forming when the blood pools in the legs and coagulates. The danger is that these blood clots could cause a pulmonary embolism (a clot blocking the blood supply to the lungs).
Endothelial cells form the inner lining of a blood vessel and provides an anticoagulant barrier between the vessel wall and blood. Endothelial cells also generate an antithrombotic surface that facilitates transit of plasma and cellular constituents throughout the vasculature. As a selective permeability barrier, the endothelial cell is a unique multifunctional cell with critical basal and inducible metabolic and synthetic functions.
Aspirin works in acute coronary syndromes by inhibiting platelet aggregation, which reduces the formation of blood clots. It does this by irreversibly blocking the enzyme cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1), leading to decreased production of thromboxane A2, a potent promoter of platelet activation and vasoconstriction. This action helps improve blood flow to the heart muscle and minimizes damage during a cardiovascular event. Additionally, aspirin's antithrombotic properties are critical in the management and prevention of further complications in patients with unstable angina or myocardial infarction.
I'd say that anyone has the potential to implement a medication error regardless of which class type the medication is in. Watch out for your high alert drugs especially, because they are labeled this way for a reason. When these drugs are used in error, they are more likely to cause significant harm to the patient. Examples of types of high alert drugs include those belonging in the adrenergic agonist, anesthetic agent, arrhythmic, antithrombotic, narcotic, cardioplegic solution, oral hypoglycemic, epidural or intrathecal medication, and dialysis solution categories.
More correctly it is called antiplatelet aggregation drugs (also called antithrombotic drugs) that include aspirin, clopidogrel, abciximab (monoclonal antibodies) and GPII/ IIIA receptors antagonists etc. Each drug has its own way and mechanism of action. It depends upon chemical structure of drug and site of action. Aspirin blocks aggregation by inhibiting cycloxygenase that produce thromboxane A2 that causes platelet aggregation. Clopidogrel acts as antagonist to P2Y2 receptors present on platelets required for their aggregation. You can check for further details. Umar Mujahid Pharm.D u.mujahid@yahoo.com
