ABCIXIREL 10MG ING

AboutAbcixirel 10mg Injection contains Abciximab, a glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor antagonist. It is a potent antiplatelet agent used in conjunction with aspirin and heparin to prevent ischemic cardiac complications in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), such as angioplasty or stent placement. Abciximab works by blocking the glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptors on the surface of platelets, which are crucial for platelet aggregation and thrombus formation by binding fibrinogen and von Willebrand factor. This inhibition prevents the final common pathway of platelet aggregation, thereby reducing the risk of acute coronary events like myocardial infarction or urgent revascularization. Its potent and rapid antiplatelet effect is critical during and immediately after PCI to maintain vessel patency and prevent re-occlusion, significantly improving patient outcomes in high-risk procedures.UsesPrevention of ischemic complications during PCI.Adjunct to PCI for unstable angina or non-Q-wave MI.Reduction of risk of MI and death in high-risk PCI patients.Used with aspirin and heparin for optimal effect.Directions For UseAdminister intravenously as a bolus followed by a continuous infusion, as directed by a physician.
