Antidote for overdose of fibrinolytic drugs is?
ATranexa
BAlteplase
CLMW heparin
DEpsilon amino caproic acid
Show Answer & Explanation ▾
✓ Correct Answer: D. Epsilon amino caproic acid
Fibrinolytics are drugs used to lyse a fibrin clot. Examples are Streptokinase, Urokinase, Alteplase, Tenecteplase etc. So the drugs that are used for treating fibrinolytic overdose should be antifibrinolytics. Both tranexamic acid and EACA are anti fibrinolytics. The antidote for fibrinolytic over dose is EACA. EACA should not be given unless the bleeding is life threatening, as EACA can cause widespread thrombosis and ischemia and can worsen DIC or HIT.
Sample MCQ #6
Which of the following is true regarding the action of clopidogrel?
AIt inhibits cyclo-oxygenase
BIt is a glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor
CIt is a hydroxymethyl coenzyme A inhibitor
DIt is an ADP receptor antagonist
Show Answer & Explanation ▾
✓ Correct Answer: D. It is an ADP receptor antagonist
Clopidogrel prevents platelet aggregation through antagonism of the adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptor. It has been shown to reduce mortality from stroke and ischaemic heart disease (IHD) in primary prevention studies. Vorapaxar is an anti-platelet agent that reduces platelet aggregation through reversible antagonism of Protease Activated Receptor-1 (PAR 1), also known as thrombin receptor.
