II. Indications

  1. Replaced by other Platelet ADP Receptor Antagonist (e.g. Clopidogrel) due to Ticlopidine toxicity
  2. Historic uses (rare use in the United States)
    1. Cerebrovascular Accident Prevention
    2. Prevention of cardiac stent thrombosis

III. Mechanism

  1. Blocks Platelet ADP
  2. Inhibits Platelet aggregation

V. Monitoring

  1. Complete Blood Count every 2 weeks for the first 3 months of use

VI. Dosing

  1. Avoid Ticlopidine if possible
  2. Replaceed with other Platelet ADP Receptor Antagonist such as Clopidogrel (Plavix) due to adverse effects
  3. Take 250 mg orally twice daily with food

Ontology: Ticlopidine (C0040207)

Definition (NCI) A thienopyridine derivative with anticoagulant activity. Ticlopidine inhibits adenosine-diphosphate (ADP) binding to its platelet receptor. This prevents ADP activation and inhibits platelet expression of the glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIA receptors, binding of fibrinogen to platelet glycoprotein GP IIb-IIIa and platelet-platelet interaction. This results in increased bleeding time.
Definition (MSH) An effective inhibitor of platelet aggregation commonly used in the placement of STENTS in CORONARY ARTERIES.
