Study this Abciximab, Tirofiban, Eptifibatide NCLEX mnemonic and other mnemonics with Pixorize.

Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors, or GPIIb/IIIa inhibitors for short, include the drugs abciximab, tirofiban, and eptifibatide. These drugs work as antiplatelet agents, preventing platelets from functioning to aggregate and form clots. This is useful in preventing blood clots from forming during coronary artery stenting and for treating acute coronary syndromes like myocardial infarction or unstable angina. However, the prevention of blood clots can also cause the side effect of bleeding. Keep a close eye on the patient’s CBC levels and report any signs or symptoms of bleeding to the provider.
