Platelet aggregation inhibitors work in different places of the clotting cascade and prevent platelet adhesion, therefore no clot formation. Aspirin, the most commonly used antiplatelet drug changes the balance between prostacyclin (which inhibits platelet aggregation) and thromboxane (that promotes aggregation).
How do platelet inhibitory drugs work?
Glycoprotein platelet inhibitors work by inhibiting glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (GpIIb-IIIa) receptors on platelets, thus decreasing platelet aggregation, and most commonly used in ACS. [3] These drugs are only available in an intravenous form and are therefore used as short-term therapy.
How do Antiplatelets prevent clot formation?
Antiplatelets inhibit the functions of blood platelets. They stop them from attaching to damaged blood vessels and sticking to each other, and therefore prevent blood clots from forming.
