Drugs for Circulatory Disorders

Drugs for Circulatory Disorders

Presentation covered the following topics.

* Drugs used are to maintain, preserve or restore circulation
* Anticoagulants & antiplatelets (antithrombotics), thrombolytics, antilipemics, peripheral vasodilatiors
* Anticoagulants - prevent formation of clots that inhibit circulation
* Antiplatelets - prevent platelet aggregation
* Thrombolytics (clot busters) - attack/dissolve formed clots
* Antilipemics - decrease bld. lipid concentration
* Peripheral vasodilators - promote dilation of vessels narrowed by vasospasm
