About ANGIOMAX

ANGIOMAX is a medication used to prevent blood clots in patients undergoing angioplasty, a medical procedure to widen narrowed or blocked coronary arteries. It is also used to prevent blood clots in patients with acute coronary syndrome, a condition characterized by reduced blood flow to the heart.

Key Benefits & Uses

Prevents blood clots in patients undergoing angioplasty
Prevents blood clots in patients with acute coronary syndrome
Reduces the risk of death and myocardial infarction (heart attack) in patients with acute coronary syndrome

Active Ingredient & Action

ANGIOMAX contains the active ingredient BIVALIRUDIN, a direct thrombin inhibitor that works by blocking the action of thrombin, a protein responsible for blood clot formation. By inhibiting thrombin, BIVALIRUDIN prevents the formation of blood clots and reduces the risk of complications associated with blood clotting.

Important Notes

ANGIOMAX should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional. It is essential to follow the recommended dosage and administration instructions to minimize the risk of adverse effects. Patients with bleeding disorders, kidney disease, or liver disease should use ANGIOMAX with caution and under close medical supervision.
