Eptifab 20mg Injection is known to cause bleeding problems. If you observe severe bleeding that cannot be controlled, it is advised to stop administering Eptifab 20mg Injection immediately. Hence, close monitoring is needed for any bleeding conditions.

Drug-Drug Interactions: Eptifab 20mg Injection may interact with pain killers (aspirin, ibuprofen, celecoxib, hydrocodone, tramadol), blood thinners (clopidogrel, dalteparin, enoxaparin, rivaroxaban, prasugrel), ACE Inhibitors (captopril, Enalapril), calcium channel blockers (nifedipine, cilnidipine), beta-blockers (atenolol, sotalol), warfarin, heparin, glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors (tirofiban, abciximab).
Drug-Food Interactions: Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption.
Drug-Disease Interactions: Inform your doctor if you have bleeding problems, coronary and cerebral vascular disease, liver or kidney disease.
Blood clot: Platelets are small cell particles that circulate in the blood. When the blood vessel is damaged or cut, the platelets clump together and form a clot. Thus, it prevents bleeding. The formation of clots in arteries can cut off the blood supply, leading to heart attack, stroke or death. Clot formation in the arteries that supply blood to the heart may cause reduced blood flow, leading to unstable angina (chest pain).
Myocardial infarction: Myocardial infarction, also known as a heart attack or stroke, could occur due to the heart's lack of blood and oxygen supply. Symptoms include chest pain, upper body pain, sweating, weakness, trouble breathing, lightheadedness and nausea.
Acute coronary syndrome: Acute coronary syndrome is a group of serious cardiac conditions wherein the blood flow to the heart decreases. It is most often caused due to plaque rupture or clot formation in the heart's arteries. The symptoms may include heart attack-like chest pressure, chest pressure while resting or doing light activity, or sudden heart stoppage.
