Cards

Term
Pravastatin
Definition
Old Statin (lowers LDL 20-30%)
Not lipophilic
Not metabed to active metabolites
Only 50% protein bound
Term
Simvastatin
Definition
Older Statin (lowers LDL 28-46%)
Much cheaper
Term
Atorvastatin
Definition
Synthetic Statin (lowers LDL 37-43%)
Term
Rosuvastatin
Definition
Synthetic Statin (lowers LDL 36-46%)
longest acting Statin
Term
Cholestyramine
Definition
Bile acid sequestrant
Given as powder
Term
Colesevelam
Definition
Bile acid sequestrant
Given as tablet 6-7 times a day
Term
Fenofibrate
Definition
Fibrate lowers TG
Doesnt impair glucuronidation
Dosed once a day
Term
Gemfibrozil
Definition
Fibrate lowers TG
Preferred in diabetics with raised TGs only
Term
Niaspan
Definition
Niacin in extended release
Causes flushing, off market now because increased strokes
Term
Vitamin B3/Nicotinic Acid
Definition
Niacin helps raise HDL but the amount in multivitamins isnt enough
Term
Ezetimibe
Definition
Inhibits cholesterol absorption and lowers LDL
Increased cancer when used with statin
Term
Fish Oil
Definition
Omega 3 helps raise HDL and can increase risk of bleeding
Term
Aspirin
Definition
COX blocker/decreases TXA2 induced platelet aggregation
Halflife 15-20min
Peak plasma level 30-40min
Platelet inhib in 1 hour and last for life of platelet
LOW DOSE is effective (75-81mg/day)
No neutropenia
rash, diarrhea, bleeding,
Term
Dipyramidole
Definition
Vasodilator & antiplatelet(mech unclear)
Halflife 10 hrs(2 a day)
Used in combo to prevent stroke(needs aspirin to work)
Headache, hypotension, bronchspasm, MI, arrhythmias
Term
Clopidogrel
Definition
Thienopyridine (Block P2Y12R)
Rapid absorb, hepatic metab to active metabolite (VARIABILITY in clinical efficacy)
Loading dose followed by 75mg daily
Used for ACS NSTEMI and STEMI and recent MI, recent stroke, PAD
Term
Ticlopidine
Definition
Thienopyridine (Block P2Y12R)
Rapid (peak in 1-3hrs)
Halflife 24-36hrs (up to 96)
No protection in 1st two weeks (not used for rapid treatment
Neutropenia may occur(2-4%)
Also GI symptoms, hypercholes, thrombocyto, aplastic anemia, TTP, rash
60% excreted in urine
Term
Pasugrel
Definition
Thienopyridine (Block P2Y12R)
Decreased vascular events but increased bleeding so no difference
Used to reduce thrombotic CV events after PCI
AVOID in history of stroke/TIA, age75+ or weight below 60kg
Term
Abciximab
Definition
GP-IIa/IIIb inhibitor
Bolus+continuous IV
Short halflife and Renally cleared
Normalize after 2 days
Bleeding, AV block, and TTP(in 2-4hrs/higher risk with readministering)
May cause anaphylaxis
Term
Tirofiban
Definition
GP-IIa/IIIb inhibitor
RAPID (plts inhib in 5 MIN)
Halflife 1.5hrs
Renal and hepatic clearance
Plts dont nromalize it
Bleeding, thrombocytopenia
Term
Eptifibide
Definition
GP-IIa/IIIb inhibitor
Reversible inhibition (from snake venom)
RAPID (5min)
Plts normalize in 1 hr
Bleeding, thrombocyto, angina, bradycardia
Term
Unfractionated Heparin
Definition
Inhibits clotting factors via ATIII and mainly Xa and IIa(10xmore)
Bolus dose then weight based infusion
Halflife 7min, safe for surgery within 4-6 hrs
Reversed with Protamine sulfate(assess reversal with aPTT)
Protamine causes hypotension, bradycardia, anaphylaxis
UFH can cause bone loss, HIT, necrosis, alopecia and rash
Term
Enoxaparin
Definition
LMWH
Targets Xa more than IIa
Given subQ, weight based dosing
Halflife 3-6hrs/RENALLY cleared
No monitoring needed(unless renal impairment or obese)
Life threatening bleeds in LMWH+CrCL<60
Slightly reversed with Protamine sulfate
Term
Fondaparinux
Definition
Pentasaccharide analog of heparin
Halflife 17hrs(>LMWH[4])
Greater Xa affinity
Doesnt inhibit thrombin
Predictable (no monitoring), renally cleared
Protamine useless/Factor VIIa may help reverse
Term
Lepirudin
Definition
Hirudin deriv (bivalent) DTI
Renally cleared
Risk of anaphylaxis
Term
Desirudin
Definition
Hirudin deriv DTI
Term
Bivalirudin
Definition
Hirudin deriv (bivalent) DTI
Enzymatically removed so safe in renal and hepatic damage
Term
Argatroban
Definition
Small molecule DTI
Binds active site of fibrin bond thrombin
Hepatically cleared
Can be used effectivelly in HIT
Term
Dabigatran
Definition
Small molecule DTI, Prodrug so peak concentraiton in 2-3 hrs
80% cleared by kidneys
Halflife 12hrs
No way to reverse it (maybe f7
Used to prevent embolic events in non valvular atrial fibrillation
Term
Warfarin
Definition
Vitamin K antagonist
Taken orally, Hepatically cleared
Metab is heavily influened(meds, diet, disease) so monitoring is needed(PT/INR)
Halflife 24-36
Start low dose, INR/2-3days
Term
Brodifacoum
Definition

Term
Tenecteplase
Definition
