An increase in antiplatelet effect would increase the risk of bleeding and could cause prolonged or excessive bleeding. A decrease in antiplatelet effect would reduce the risk of bleeding, but increase the thromboembolic risk. [3] Drug toxicity may increase when multiple antiplatelet drugs are used.
Side effects may include bleeding, most commonly from the nose, gastrointestinal tract (GI) or genitourinary system. [2] Compared to the risk of bleeding with warfarin use, direct factor Xa inhibitors have a higher risk of GI bleeding, but lower risk of bleeding in the brain. [2]
An antithrombotic agent is a drug that reduces the formation of blood clots (). [1] [2] Antithrombotics can be used therapeutically for prevention (primary prevention, secondary prevention) or treatment of a dangerous blood clot (acute thrombus).
Other rare effects are increased serum transaminase levels, agranulocytosis and anaemia. [31] As fenofibrate possess the same binding mechanism as warfarin in the blood, this combination should be addressed with caution as fenofibrate may potentiate the anticoagulant effect of warfarin. [33]
Side effects References aspirin: antiplatelet risks for GI tract bleeding and hemorrhagic stroke [40] [41] [32] [42] [43] dipyridamole: platelet aggregation inhibitor oral or intravenous Abdominal or stomach cramps, diarrhea, dizziness or lightheadedness [44] [45] [46] [41] clopidogrel: antiplatelet [45] [41] ticlid: enoxaparin: anticoagulant
Before the time of ADP inhibitors the only antiplatelet agent on the market to treat antithrombotic events was aspirin. However, because of recurrent ischemic events in high risk patients there was a basis for development of antiplatelet drugs to target other important signaling pathways.
antiplatelets, which prevent blood clots by affecting platelets beta-blockers , calcium channel blockers , and renin-angiotensin system-acting agents, which all help lower blood pressure.
Common side effects include bleeding and nausea. [6] [7] Other side effects may include bleeding around the spine and allergic reactions. [6] Use is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. [1] [7] Use appears to be relatively safe in those with mild kidney problems. [7] Compared to warfarin it has fewer interactions with other ...
