Drugs that affect hemostasis
Drugs are categorized according to
the process they target.
An injured blood vessel
Contracts
Forms a platelet plug (1º hemostasis)
Forms a protein clot (2º hemostasis)
Once healed, solubilizes the clot
(fibrinolysis)

Warfarin Pharmacokinetics
ABSORPTION: Rapid, complete. Used
orally.
DISTRIBUTION: Vd is small; plasma
protein binding ≈ 99%.
[Maternal] = [Fetal]. Warfarin is not found
in breast milk; other coumadins are!
ELIMINATION: T1/2 = 40 hr.
ONSET:
2-3 days.
DURATION: 2-5 days.
Drugs Affecting Hemostasis
Warfarin: Adverse Actions
Bleeding is the main concern
vitamin K, clotting factors, fresh
frozen plasma
Crosses the placenta and is
teratogenic during weeks 6-12
Alopecia, urticaria, dermatitis,
fever, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal
cramps, anorexia, skin necrosis
Drugs Affecting Hemostasis
Drug Interactions
Drug interactions are particularly important with oral anticoagulants, and the result may be
either an increase or a decrease in the effect of the anticoagulant. Frequent monitoring of
the prothrombin time is essential when administering another drug with warfarin, and
changing the dose of warfarin may be necessary.
Drugs increase anticoagulation by
1.
Displacement of protein bound warfarin. Because of the high degree of warfarin bound to
plasma proteins, even a small decrease in the amount bound can lead to significant increases
in free drug levels. Examples: salicylates such as aspirin.
2.
Inhibition of the liver microsomal enzyme system that metabolizes warfarin will increase the
availability of warfarin. Example: quinidine.
3.
Increasing the warfarin “receptor site” affinity will increase the efficacy of a given plasma
level of warfarin. Example: d-thyroxine.
4.
Reducing the availability of vitamin K. Example: broad spectrum antibiotics, laxatives.
5.
Inhibiting platelet function. Example, aspirin.
Drugs depress anticoagulation by
1.
Stimulation of the hepatic microsomal enzyme system. This decreases plasma half-life of
warfarin. Example: barbiturates.
2.
Stimulation of clotting factor synthesis. This antagonizes the effect of warfarin. Example:
vitamin K, estrogens.
3.
Inhibition of absorption. Example: cholestyramine.
Drugs Affecting Hemostasis
Heparin
2-40 kDa MW, naturally occurring N- & Osulfated sugars polymerized by glycoside
bonds found in the secretory granules of
mast cells.
Drugs Affecting Hemostasis
Heparin
2-40 kDa MW, naturally occurring N- & O-sulfated
sugars polymerized by glycoside bonds found in
the secretory granules of mast cells.
Lower MW polymers possess most of the
biological activity.
Active in vitro as well as in vivo.
The most acidic organic acid in the body.
Is not absorbed following oral administration.
Drugs Affecting Hemostasis
Mechanism of Action
Accelerates the inactivation of factors IIa,
Xa, IXa, XIa and XIIa by the serine protease
inhibitor, antithrombin III (AT III).
Drugs Affecting Hemostasis
Mechanism of Action
Unique pentasaccharide sequence binds to
antithrombin III (AT III) with high affinity but
a polysaccharide of at least 18 units is
required (5 for LMWH).

Heparin Pharmacokinetics
No oral absorption; IV or subQ.
Vd is small due to extensive
binding. Binding can influence the
effect of heparin.
Onset: IV, immediate; subQ, 20-60
min
Drugs Affecting Hemostasis
Heparin Adverse Actions
Bleeding is the main concern.
Antidote: protamine sulfate.
Thrombocytopenia (<5%, within a few days).
Disappears with cessation of therapy.
Rapid and profound thrombocytopenia (<5%, 8-10
days) with paradoxical arterial or venous thrombosis.
Results from the formation of anti-heparin antibodies.
Heparin-Ab bind to platelets causing inappropriate
aggregation and thrombus formation. May be lifethreatening.
Reversible osteoporosis (6 months). If it occurs, it is
usually after 6 months therapy with >15,000 U/day.

Therapeutic overview

Aspirin
Cerebrovascular accident, stroke,
coronary bypass surgery,
coronary angioplasty/stenting or
thrombolysis, myocardial
infarction, transient ischemic
attack
Clopidogrel
Coronary artery disease,
cerebrovascular accident, stroke,
peripheral arterial disease
Glycoprotein
IIb/IIIa inhibitors
Acute coronary syndromes, after
coronary artery stenting
Aspirin Mechanism of Action
Aspirin irreversibly inactivates
cyclooxygenase by covalent
acetylation.
Drugs Affecting Hemostasis
Aspirin

Aspirin

Selectivity of aspirin for platelet COX
1. Platelet COX is acetylated in the
portal circulation before aspirin is
deacylated in the liver.
2. The systemic vasculature is
unaffected because platelets are not
affected by salicylate.
Drugs Affecting Hemostasis
Aspirin Pharmacokinetics
ABSORPTION: 70%
DISTRIBUTION: at low doses most is
protein bound in plasma; at high doses a
smaller percentage is bound and more is
available to tissues
ELIMINATION: hepatic metabolites
(75%) and parent compound excreted in
urine. At low doses half-life is 4 hr and
is 1st order. High doses show saturation
kinetics and half-life is 15 hr. Faster in
alkaline urine.
ONSET: 30 min
DURATION: 7-10 days

Epigastric pain, heartburn, nausea

Decreases the effectiveness of
antihypertensives: usually not a
problem with low doses.
