Definitions Blood A mixture of water, cells, proteins, and dissolved salts. Blood serves as the transportation system for hormones, nutrients, and waste products within the body Iron Deficiency Anemia Anemia due to a decrease in circulating red blood cells and resulting in decreased delivery of oxygen to body tissues Treated with iron salts (ferrous sulfate) Megaloblastic anemia Anemia due to increased circulation of immature abnormal red blood cells resulting in decreased delivery of oxygen to body tissues Treated with specific vitamins and minerals depending on which ones are needed (vitamin B-12, folic acid) Therapeutic Classes Anticoagulants Use Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) Pulmonary emboli Atrial fibrillation with embolism Prophylaxis of systemic emboli after myocardial infarction Mechanism of Action Stop or slow the normal blood clotting processes Patient Information Instruct patient not to take aspirin or any new medications (including non- - prescription p3 ________________________________________________________________ © PassAssured, LLC - Serving the Pharmacy Technician Commuinty www.passassured.com PassAssured's Pharmacy Technician Training Systems medications) without his/her provider's knowledge Side Effects Excess bleeding Examples Warfarin (Coumadin) Heparin Enoxaparin (Lovenox) Danapariod (Orgaran) Dalteparin (Fragmin) Anisindione (Miradon) Dicumarol (Dicumarol) Hemostatics Uses Treatment of excessive bleeding (e.g., surgical bleeding, hemophilia, vitamin K deficiency) Mechanism of Action Affects the blood clotting process Examples Gelatin (Gelfoam) Thrombin (Thrombinar) Aminocaproic acid (Amicar) Phytonadione (Mephyton) - Vitamin K Factor VII (Monoclate) Aprotinin (Trasylol) Tranexamic acid (Cyklokapron) Antithrombotics Use To decrease platelet aggregation (stickiness) and to decrease unwanted clot formation (e.g., p4 ________________________________________________________________ © PassAssured, LLC - Serving the Pharmacy Technician Commuinty www.passassured.com PassAssured's Pharmacy Technician Training Systems heart attack prevention) Examples Aspirin (Anacin, Ascriptin, Bayer, Bufferin, Ecotrin) Dipyridamole (Persantine) Clopidogrel (Plavix) Ticlopidine (Ticlid) Thrombolytics Use To dissolve existing blood clots To decrease the muscle damage associated with heart attacks To treat pulmonary emboli Side Effects Excessive bleeding Examples TPA (Alteplase) Streptokinase (Streptase) APSAC (Eminase) TPA (Activase) Reteplase (Retevase) Urokinase (Abbokinase) Hemorrheologic Agents Use Intermittent claudication - severe cramping in legs Mechanism of Action Decrease blood viscosity and help to increase blood flow to areas of need Side Effects p5 ________________________________________________________________ © PassAssured, LLC - Serving the Pharmacy Technician Commuinty www.passassured.com PassAssured's Pharmacy Technician Training Systems Nausea/vomiting Dizziness Examples Pentoxifylline (Trental) Antianemics Use To treat anemia caused by iron or vitamin deficiencies (e.g., megaloblastic anemia) Patient Information Take with meals to avoid stomach upset Side Effects Diarrhea or constipation Nausea/vomiting Examples Iron Sulfate (Slow-Fe) Ferrous gluconate - iron supplement Folic Acid Thiamine (Vitamin B6) Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B-12) Pass Assured, LLC, Pharmacy Technician Training Systems Copyright © Pass Assured, LLC, Web Site - passassured.com -o- p6 ________________________________________________________________ © PassAssured, LLC - Serving the Pharmacy Technician Commuinty www.passassured.com
