Abstract

Antithrombotics are drugs used to prevent the formation of blood clots, also known as thrombi. These clots can cause serious health problems, such as heart attacks or strokes. Different types of antithrombotics, such as antiplatelets and anticoagulants, are analyzed and their mechanisms of action are discussed. Additionally, the benefits and risks associated with the use of antithrombotics are examined. On the one hand, these drugs can reduce the risk of thrombotic events, which may be especially beneficial in patients with high-risk conditions, such as those who have suffered a heart attack or who have atrial fibrillation. On the other hand, the possible side effects of antithrombotics, such as the increased risk of bleeding, are also discussed and guidelines for their safe use in different clinical scenarios are provided. Additionally, monitoring and dose adjustment strategies for these medications are addressed to ensure their effectiveness and safety in patients.
