Round, double radius shape, with a cross-shaped risk, light blue.
Characteristic
Bivalirudin is a single-chain polypeptide with a molecular weight of 2180.19, consisting of 20 amino acids and having a core structure of hirudin. As a direct inhibitor of thrombin, bivalirudin inhibits all catalyzed and thrombin-induced reactions, including fibrin formation, activation of clotting factors V, VIII and XIII, activation of protein C, and platelet aggregation. Bivalirudin has a high selectivity for thrombin with an inhibition constant (Ki) of 2.3 nM, and does not require the presence of co-factors.
Pharmachologic effect
Mode of action - Anticoagulant.
Pharmacodynamics
It blocks in the liver the synthesis of vitamin-K-dependent clotting factors (II, VII, IX, X), reduces their concentration in plasma and slows the process of blood coagulation.
The onset of anticoagulant action is observed 36-72 hours after the start of the drug with the development of maximum effect on the 5-7th day from the beginning of application. After discontinuation of the drug, the restoration of vitamin-K-dependent coagulation factors occurs within 4-5 days.
Pharmacokinetics
Quickly absorbed from the digestive tract almost completely. Binding to plasma proteins - 97-99%. Metabolised in the liver.
Warfarin is a racemic mixture, with the R and S isomers being metabolized in the liver in various ways. Each of the isomers is converted into 2 main metabolites.
The main catalyst of metabolism for the S-enantiomer of warfarin is the enzyme CYP2C9, and for the R-enantiomer of warfarin, CYP1A2 and CYP3A4. The left-handed isomer of warfarin (S-warfarin) has a 2-5 fold greater anticoagulant activity than the dextrorotatory isomer (R-enantiomer), but the latter is more T1 / 2. Patients with polymorphism of the CYP2C9 enzyme, including the alleles CYP2C9 * 2 and CYP2C9 * 3, may have increased sensitivity to warfarin and an increased risk of bleeding.
Warfarin is excreted from the body with bile in the form of inactive metabolites, which are reabsorbed into the digestive tract and excreted in the urine. T1 / 2 is from 20 to 60 hours. For the R-enantiomer, T1 / 2 is from 37 to 89 hours, and for the S-enantiomer is from 21 to 43 hours.
Indications for Warfarin Nycomed
Treatment and prevention of thrombosis and embolism of blood vessels:
Acute and recurrent venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism;
Transient ischemic attacks and strokes;
Secondary prevention of myocardial infarction and prevention of thromboembolic complications after myocardial infarction;
Prevention of thromboembolic complications in patients with atrial fibrillation, damage to the heart valves or prosthetic heart valves;
Prevention of postoperative thrombosis.
Contraindications

Acute bleeding;
Pregnancy (I trimester and the last 4 weeks of pregnancy);
Severe liver or kidney disease;
Acute syndrome of disseminated intravascular coagulation;
Deficiency of proteins C and S;
Thrombocytopenia;
Patients with a high risk of bleeding, including patients with hemorrhagic disorders;
Varicose veins of the esophagus;
Aneurysm of arteries;
Lumbar puncture;
Peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum;
Severe wounds (including operating wounds);
Bacterial endocarditis;
Malignant hypertension;
Hemorrhagic stroke, intracranial hemorrhage.
Pregnancy and breast-feeding
Warfarin quickly penetrates the placenta, has a teratogenic effect on the fetus, leading to the development of warfarin syndrome in the fetus for the 6-12th week of pregnancy. Manifestations of this syndrome: nasal hypoplasia (saddle nasal deformity and other cartilage changes) and spot chondrodysplasia in radiographic examination (especially in the spine and long tubular bones), short brushes and fingers, atrophy of the optic nerve, cataracts leading to complete or partial blindness, Retardation of mental and physical development and microcephaly.
The drug may cause bleeding at the end of pregnancy and during labor. Taking the drug during pregnancy can cause congenital malformations and lead to fetal death. The drug cannot be administered in the first trimester of pregnancy and within the last 4 weeks. Use of warfarin is not recommended in other terms of pregnancy, except in cases of extreme necessity. Women of reproductive age should use the method of effective contraception during the period of application of warfarin.
Warfarin is excreted in breast milk, but when taking therapeutic doses of warfarin, no effect on the breastfed child is expected. Warfarin can be used during breastfeeding.
Data on the effect of warfarin on fertility are not available.
Side effects
Adverse reactions to the drug are ordered according to the system-organ class and are consistent with the terms of preferred use (in accordance with MedDRA). Within the category of system-organ class, the reactions are distributed according to the frequency of occurrence according to the following scheme: very often (≥1 / 10); Often (≥1 / 100 to <1/10); Infrequently (≥1 / 1000 to <1/100); Rarely (≥1 / 10000 to <1/1000); Very rarely (<1/10000).

Examples of such complications include nasal bleeding, hemoptysis, hematuria, gum bleeding, bruising on the skin, vaginal bleeding, subconjunctival bleeding, rectal and other intestinal bleeding, intracerebral bleeding, prolonged or profuse bleeding after trauma or surgery. You can expect the development of bleeding, incl. Heavy, in any organ. Patients who received long-term anticoagulant treatment reported on the development of bleeding, leading to death, hospitalization, or the need for blood transfusion. Independent risk factors for significant bleeding during the use of warfarin include: advanced age, high levels of hypocoagulation, a history of history of history of gastrointestinal bleeding, concomitant diseases and atrial fibrillation. In patients with polymorphism CYP2C9 (see "Pharmacokinetics") there may be an increased risk of overly anticoagulant action and episodes of bleeding. These patients should carefully monitor the levels of Hb and INR.
Necrosis. Coumarin necrosis is a rare complication in the treatment with warfarin. Necrosis usually begins with swelling and darkening of the skin of the lower extremities and buttocks or (rarely) in other places. Later, lesions become necrotic. In 90% of cases, necrosis develops in women. The lesions are observed from the 3rd to the 10th day of the drug administration, and the etiology assumes the deficiency of the antithrombotic protein C or S. Congenital insufficiency of these proteins can be the cause of complications, so treatment with warfarin should begin with small initial doses and simultaneously with the administration of heparin. If complication occurs, then warfarin is discontinued and heparin is continued until the lesions are healed or scarring.
Palmar-plantar syndrome. A very rare complication with warfarin therapy, its development is typical for men with atherosclerotic diseases. As suggested, warfarin causes hemorrhages in the area of atheromatous plaques, leading to microemboli. There are symmetrical purple lesions of the skin of the fingers and soles of the feet, accompanied by burning pains. After stopping the use of warfarin, these symptoms gradually disappear.
Other: hypersensitivity reactions, manifested as a skin rash and characterized by a reversible increase in levels of liver enzymes, cholestatic hepatitis, vasculitis, priapism, reversible alopecia and calcification of the trachea.
Independent risk factors for serious bleeding during treatment with warfarin are: old age, high intensity of concomitant anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapy, history of strokes and gastrointestinal bleeding.
The risk of bleeding is increased in patients with polymorphism of the CYP2C9 gene.
Interaction
It is not recommended to start or stop taking other medicines, and also to change the doses of the medications.
At simultaneous appointment, it is also necessary to take into account the effects of cessation of induction and / or inhibition of the action of warfarin by other drugs.
The risk of severe bleeding increases with simultaneous administration of warfarin with drugs that affect platelet levels and primary hemostasis: acetylsalicylic acid, clopidogrel, ticlopidine, dipyridamole, most NSAIDs (with the exception of COX-2 inhibitors), penicillin-type antibiotics in large doses.
Combined use of warfarin with preparations with a pronounced inhibitory effect on the cytochrome P450 system, for example, cimetidine and chloramphenicol, should be avoided, and the risk of bleeding increases within several days. In such cases, cimetidine cannot be replaced, for example, ranitidine or famotidine.

Dosing and Administration
Inside.
1 time per day, preferably at the same time.
The duration of treatment is determined by the doctor in accordance with the indications for use.
Control during treatment. Before the start of therapy, MHO is determined. Further laboratory monitoring is carried out regularly every 4-8 weeks.
The duration of treatment depends on the clinical condition of the patient. Treatment can be canceled immediately.
Patients who had not previously taken warfarin: the initial dose was 5 mg / day (2 tablets per day) for the first 4 days. On the 5th day of treatment, MHO is determined and, in accordance with this indicator, a maintenance dose of the drug is administered. Usually the maintenance dose of the drug is 2.5-7.5 mg / day (1-3 tablets per day).
Patients who had previously taken warfarin: The recommended starting dose is a double dose of a known maintenance dose of the drug and is given within the first 2 days. The treatment is then continued with the aid of a known maintenance dose. On the 5th day of treatment, MHO monitoring and dose adjustment are performed in accordance with this indicator. It is recommended to maintain the MHO index from 2 to 3 in case of prophylaxis and treatment of venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, atrial fibrillation, dilated cardiomyopathy, complicated heart valve diseases, prosthesis of heart valves with bioprostheses. Higher MHO values from 2.5 to 3.5 are recommended for prosthetic valve replacement with mechanical prostheses and complicated acute myocardial infarction.
Children: data on the use of warfarin in children are limited. The initial dose is usually 0.2 mg / kg / day with normal liver function and 0.1 mg / kg / day if liver function is impaired. The maintenance dose is selected in accordance with the MHO indices. The recommended levels of MHO are the same as those of adults. The decision to prescribe warfarin and supervision of treatment in children should be carried out by an experienced pediatrician. Doses are selected in accordance with Table. 1.

Patients with renal insufficiency: patients with impaired renal function need to reduce the dose of warfarin and carry out thorough monitoring (see "Special instructions").
Planned (elective) surgical interventions: pre-, peri- and post-operative anticoagulant therapy is performed as indicated below (if urgent cancellation of oral anticoagulant treatment is needed - see "Overdose").
1. Identify MHO one week prior to the scheduled operation.
2. Stop taking warfarin 1-5 days before surgery. In the case of a high risk of thrombosis, low molecular weight heparin is administered to the patient to prevent SC. The duration of the pause in taking warfarin depends on MHO. Acceptance of warfarin is discontinued:
- 5 days before surgery, if MHO> 4;
- 3 days before surgery, if MHO is from 3 to 4;
- 2 days before surgery, if MHO is from 2 to 3.
3. Determine the MHO in the evening before the operation and administer 0.5-1 mg of vitamin K1 orally or intravenously, if INR> 1.8.
4. Take into account the need for infusion of unfractionated heparin or preventive administration of low-molecular-weight heparin on the day of surgery.
5. Continue with the introduction of low-molecular-weight heparin for 5-7 days after surgery with concomitant reconstituted warfarin.
6. Continue taking warfarin from a normal maintenance dose on the same day in the evening after a small operation and the day the patient begins to receive enteral feeding after major surgery.
Overdose
The indicator of the effectiveness of treatment is on the border of the development of bleeding, so the patient can develop minor bleeding (including eg microhematuria, bleeding gums).
Treatment: in mild cases - reducing the dose of the drug or stopping treatment for a short time; With minor bleeding - stopping the drug before reaching the MHO target level. In case of severe bleeding, iv administration of vitamin K, administration of activated carbon, coagulation factor concentrate or freshly frozen plasma.
If oral anticoagulants are indicated for the purpose in the future, large doses of vitamin K should be avoided. Resistance to warfarin develops within 2 weeks.

After the treatment, prolonged observation of the patient is necessary, given that T1 / 2 warfarin is 20-60 hours.
Special instructions
A mandatory condition for therapy with warfarin is strict adherence to the patient's intake of the prescribed dose of the drug.
Patients suffering from alcoholism, as well as patients with dementia may be unable to comply with the prescribed mode of taking warfarin.
Conditions such as fever, hyperthyroidism, decompensated heart failure, alcoholism with concomitant lesions of the liver, may enhance the effect of warfarin. With hypothyroidism, the effect of warfarin can be reduced. In the case of renal failure or nephrotic syndrome, the free fraction of warfarin in the blood plasma increases, which, depending on the concomitant diseases, can lead to both an increase and a decrease in the effect. In the case of moderate hepatic insufficiency, the effect of warfarin is enhanced.
In all of the above conditions, careful monitoring of the MHO level should be carried out.
Patients receiving warfarin, as anesthetic drugs are recommended to appoint paracetamol, tramadol or opiates.
Patients with a mutation of the gene encoding the CYP2C9 enzyme have a longer T1 / 2 warfarin. These patients require lower doses of the drug, When taking conventional therapeutic doses, the risk of bleeding increases.
Do not take warfarin in patients with a rare hereditary intolerance to galactose, a deficiency of lactase, a syndrome of glucose-galactose malabsorption due to the presence of lactose in the formulation (as an auxiliary substance).
If it is necessary to initiate a rapid antithrombotic effect, it is recommended to begin treatment with the administration of heparin; Then for 5-7 days, combined therapy with heparin and warfarin should be conducted until the target MHO level is maintained for 2 days (see "Method of administration and dose").
In patients with protein C deficiency, there is a risk of skin necrosis at the beginning of warfarin therapy. Such therapy should begin without a shock dose of warfarin, even with heparin. Patients with protein S deficiency may also be at risk, and in these circumstances a slower initiation of warfarin therapy is recommended.
In the case of individual resistance to warfarin (it is very rare), from 5 to 20 shock doses of warfarin are needed to achieve a therapeutic effect. If the reception of warfarin in such patients is ineffective, other possible causes should be established - simultaneous administration of warfarin with other drugs (see "Interaction"), inadequate diet, laboratory errors.
Treatment of elderly patients should be carried out with special precautions, because The synthesis of coagulation factors and hepatic metabolism in such patients is reduced, resulting in an excessive effect of warfarin.
Caution is recommended in patients with impaired renal function, which should be used to monitor MHO levels more often in patients at risk of hypercoagulability, for example, severe arterial hypertension or kidney disease (see "Dosage and Administration").
