  • Bleeding
  • hypotension; localised Injection site reaction; thrombocytopaenia; back pain; anaphylaxis; GI

Drug Interactions

Using heparin with other blood thinners, antiplatelet drugs, or clot-busting medicines increases the risk of bleeding.

Mode of actions

Eptifibatide is a small, ring-shaped protein made of seven amino acids. It works by blocking a specific receptor on platelets called glycoprotein IIb/IIIa. This prevents platelets from clumping together, which helps reduce the risk of blood clots forming.
