Studies have shown that the treatment against platelets is one of the most important steps to treat patients with coronary arteries. There are three types of drugs against platelets, each of which works with a different mechanism, so we may see many patients on more than one drug, all of them work to prevent adhesion platelets and thus reduce and prevent thrombus from The patient continues to take these drugs before, during and sometimes after the catheterization, but must be stopped 5-7 days prior to surgical intervention of the coronary arteries.
1. Aspirin: All patients with unstable angina should use aspirin unless they have an allergy or allergies taken orally
2. Clopidogrel or Plafax: This drug is used for patients with coronary artery disease who are allergic to aspirin or can not tolerate the side effects of aspirin (in this case, aspirin allowance is taken). For patients with catheterization, clopidogrel plus aspirin is given before catheterization and may continue to be taken together up to 9 months after catheterization. This depends on the coronary artery placement of the patient and whether a catheter or catheter is placed during the catheterization, The patient takes two drugs against the platelets, taken orally
3. Glycoprotein IIb / IIIa receptor inhibitors: A third type of platelet treatment The therapist may consider that the patient may improve the results of his treatment if taking this medicine in addition to aspirin and clopidogrel if the patient does not have contraindications to use and attention to the risk of bleeding has also increased because the patient He has taken three drugs against platelets, taken intravenously.
