Contact SupplierBIVALIRUDIN INJECTION 250 MG
Bivalirudin is a specific and reversible direct thrombin inhibitor (DTI). It is a synthetic congener of the naturally occurring drug hirudin (found in the saliva of the medicinal leech Hirudo medicinalis).Bivalirudin is a DTI that overcomes many limitations seen with indirect thrombin inhibitors, such as heparin. Bivalirudin is a short, synthetic peptide that is potent, highly specific, and a reversible inhibitor of thrombin.It inhibits both circulating and clot-bound thrombin.It does not require a binding cofactor such as antithrombin and does not activate platelets. These characteristics make bivalirudin an ideal alternative to heparin.
