vit K
3. Warfarin MOA: interfare with vitamin K dependant synth of active clotting factor II

clotting time in vitro only ), warfarin has optical isomers
4. Warfarin is safe to be taken with allopurinol

10. The PT of pts on antocoagulant therapy with coumarin or phenindione derivatives will
be decreased by: vit K. PT: the time it takes for fibrin to gel in plasma after addition of Ca
and thromboplastin.
11. The initiation of therapy with chlorpheniramine maleate would be least likely to cause
therapeutic problems in pts already taking warfarin because it will not displace warfarin
from it plasma protein binding sites
12. Streptokinase: 1.5 million IU (IV inf) over 60 min
13. Streptokinase not given within 6 months from previous administration due to allergy
(antibody-antigen reaction)

16. Streptokinase in pts receiving simultaneous ttt with platelet aggregation inhibitors, e.g.
aspirin, phenylbutazone, dipyridamole, and NSAIDs, for elderly pts should not be
repeated within 12 months of last course
17. Sodium Heparin USP should always be ordered in units rather than mg because: the use
of standard units/ml of preparations gives a more reproducible dose. Heparin is not a
uniform molecular species, therefore, should be prescribed in units rather than mg
18. Pt takeing warfarin should avoid phenylephrine as it is alpha agonis thus increase
platelet aggregation
19. Protamine sulfate is antidote for heparin
20. Platelet aggregation inhibitors: cefotetan, cefoperazone, cefamandole, moxolactam,
ketorolac
21. Normal prothrompin time: 12-15 seconds - APPTT: 30-45 seconds
22. Na heparine is obtained from beef lung
23. MOA of warfarin: inhibit vit K epoxide reductase
24. In treating excessive heparin with protamine sulfate, caution must be exercised to avoid
more protamine than is necessary because protamine sulfat is anticoagulant, it is
unadvisable to give more than 100mg over a short time unless there's a definit need
25. If a pt receiving heparin suffers from gum bleeding: should be advised to wait until
action of heparin subsides
26. If a pt on oral anticoagulant therapy experiences mild to moderate bleeding, the

alteplase (fibrinolytic agents)
41. Aminocaproic acid is used as antifibrinolytic agent , ttt of hemmorrhage due to
fibrinolytics
42. Alteplase is thrombolytic agent
43. (continue PT) the PT of pts on coumarin drugs is prolonged because of the reduced
activity of several blood factors. Vit K antagonizes the action of these anticoagulants and
therefore shortens PT
44. (continue protamine) protamine is a strongly basic substance that combines with the
strongly acidic heparin to produce a stable salt and loss of anticoagulant properties
45. (continue oral anticoagulant versus vit K) retitrate the pt on the oral anticoagulant. The
adminstration of vit K1 (phytonadione) will correct oral anticoagulant-induced bleeding
within a few hours.. This should be only in severe hemorrhage cases
46. (continue heparin) the old equivalence of 100mg=10000U is a poor approximation
because the USP specifies the potency to be not less than 120U/mg when derived from
lung tissue and not less than 140U/mg when derived from other tissues
47. (continue heparin) potency shoukd be 90-110% of what is stated on the label. If the
physician orders 100mg of heparin, it is not clear whether he means 10000 or 12000U or

transfusion have traditionally been used to manage hyperbilirubinemia, this ttt rarely
dec the bilirubin to even 1/2 of its pretransfusion level and exposes the neonate
28. Diazepam is different from temazepam in that diazepam has longer duration of action
than temazepam

36. (cont. phenobarbital vs. n.jaundice) to the hazards of blood transfusion. More recently,
phenobarbital have been found to be effective in lowering serum bilirubin levels, it
enhances glucuronidation by stimulating syn of LME,
37. (cont. phenobarbital vs. n.jaundice) complete failure of this ttt can probably be
attributed to discontinuing of the drug prematurely
38. (cont. phenbarbital vs. n.jaundice) and by inducing production of bilirubin-binding Y
protein. The dosage is 5mg q8hrs (beginning 6-8hrs after delivery) for 3-5days until
serum bilirubin level falls below 10mg/dl.
39. (cont. lorazepam, oxazepam) resulting in drug accumulation and the risk of

metabolized in the liver by oxidation to desmethyldiazepam, an active metabolite with a
very long half life, this process is impaired in the elderly (cirrhosis)
41. (cont. hypnotics) fluorazepam is metabolized to an active metabolite
(desalkylfuorazepam) which has an extremely long t1/2 (>100hrs). Fluorazepam require
several nights to become maximally effective
42. (cont. hypnotics) and fluorazepam often cause morning after effects
43. (cont. hypnotics) although all of the benzodiazepines have dose-related hypnotic
effects, only fluorazepam, temazepam, lorazepam & triazolam are FDA approved for this
indication. Triazolam has a very short t1/2 (2-3hrs)
44. (con. Hypnotics) lorazepam and temazepam have intermediate t1/2 (10-15hrs) all three
are rapid acting drugs that are unlikely to cause morning after effects.
