2 Antithrombotics That Have Changed Clinical Practice Anticoagulants Low-molecular-weight l heparin Antiplatelet Drugs Thienopyridines Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa Inhibitors

3 But.. for oral anticoagulation, Vitamin K antagonists (warfarin) remain the only available option

4 The ideal oral anticoagulant Oral, preferably once daily Rapid onset and offset of action Low propensity for food and drug interactions Fixed doses Wide therapeutic window Easy to use with no need for monitoring i Have antidote
