two new IV platelet inhibitors

June 1998

The FDA just approved two new IV platelet inhibitors...Aggrastat (tirofiban) and Integrilin (eptifibatide).

They're being called "super aspirins"...because they're morepotent than aspirin.

Aggrastat or Integrilin are given with heparin AND aspirin...for unstable angina, non-Q wave MI, and some cases of PTCA.
