About TIROBAN 5MG INJECTION 100ML

TIROBAN 5MG INJECTION 100ML belongs to a class of medicines called 'antiplatelets' (blood thinners) used to prevent blood clots. It helps to prevent heart attack and chest pain. It is intended for use with unfractionated heparin and aspirin. A blood clot is a clump of blood that has changed from a liquid to a gel-like or semisolid state. Blood clots are formed to stop bleeding that occurs due to tissue injury. Though blood clots are useful for stopping bleeding, they are harmful when abnormally formed within blood vessels as they block blood vessels and inhibit blood flow to essential organs such as the brain, heart, or lungs.

TIROBAN 5MG INJECTION 100ML contains Tirofiban, a platelet aggregation inhibitor which works by preventing platelets (blood cells) from sticking together to form blood clots. Thus, it prevents blood clot formation.

TIROBAN 5MG INJECTION 100ML will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. Sometimes, TIROBAN 5MG INJECTION 100ML may cause common side effects such as bleeding under the skin at the site of injection or into a muscle causing swelling, bleeding after surgery, invisible blood in stool or urine, headache or feeling sick. Most of these side effects of TIROBAN 5MG INJECTION 100ML do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to Tirofiban or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. TIROBAN 5MG INJECTION 100ML is not recommended for children as safety and effectiveness were not established. If you are a pregnant or breastfeeding woman, inform your doctor before receiving TIROBAN 5MG INJECTION 100ML. Avoid alcohol consumption with TIROBAN 5MG INJECTION 100ML as it may increase the risk of bleeding in the stomach or intestines. If you have a history of stroke or bleeding internally within the last 30 days, avoid receiving TIROBAN 5MG INJECTION 100ML.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Avoid making any changes in your diet without first talking to your doctor to avoid medication interactions.
  • Include foods high in antioxidants, such as vegetables, fruits, olive oil, seeds, nuts, cocoa, and red wine, as they may lower the risk of developing blood clots.
  • Adopt an anti-inflammatory diet high in omega-3-rich foods, fruits and vegetables, and vitamin E-rich foods.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Blood clots: A blood clot is a clump of blood that has changed from a liquid to a gel-like or semisolid state. Blood clots are formed to stop bleeding that occurs due to tissue injury. Though blood clots are useful to stop bleeding, they may be harmful when abnormally formed within blood vessels as they block blood vessels and inhibit blood flow to essential organs such as the brain, heart, or lungs and result in serious conditions. The common risk factors for blood clots are obesity, smoking, cancer, family history of blood clots, aged over 65 years, certain birth control pills, or pregnancy. If you experience chest pressure, sudden shortness of breath, or difficulty in breathing, speaking, or seeing, please consult a doctor immediately, as these might be symptoms of blood clots. Quick medication is advised to reduce the risk of serious conditions due to blood clots.
