Tirofuse 5 MG Infusion 100 ML contains tirofiban (5 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Platelet Aggregation Inhibition: Tirofiban works by blocking a certain protein from binding to glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptors found on the surface of platelets, preventing them from sticking together and forming clots.

• Blood Flow Maintenance: By preventing excessive platelet accumulation, tirofiban helps keep blood flowing freely through your blood vessels, reducing the risk of blockages.

• Dose-Dependent Effect: The antiplatelet effects of tirofiban are directly related to the dose given, with higher doses providing stronger antiplatelet activity while you're receiving the infusion.

• Reversible Action: Once the infusion is stopped, the effects of tirofiban gradually decrease, with normal platelet function typically returning within hours.
