Question: 1 / 400

Eptifibatide (Integrilin) is classified under which category of drugs?

Anticoagulant

Antiplatelet

Integrilin, also known as eptifibatide, is a drug that belongs to the category of antiplatelet drugs.

This category of drugs works by preventing platelets in the blood from forming clots, which can lead to blood clots in the arteries and veins.

Anticoagulant drugs, on the other hand, work by inhibiting the formation of blood clots and are used to prevent and treat conditions such as deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.

Antiviral drugs are used to treat viral infections, while antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections.

Therefore, it is incorrect to classify eptifibatide under anticoagulants, antivirals, or antibiotics as they do not have the same mechanism of action or indications for use.
