Aggrastat
Tirofiban - Inj


Tirofiban is a type of blood thinner used (usually in combination with heparin) to help prevent blood clotting that occurs during certain heart conditions (e.g., acute coronary syndrome) or medical procedures (e.g., percutaneous coronary intervention-PCI). Tirofiban works by preventing platelets in the blood from sticking to each other. When platelets stick to each other, this can cause blood clots that may lead to medical complications.
