Tirofiban

Tirofiban is a medication used to prevent blood clots from forming in the arteries, especially during heart procedures like angioplasty. It works by blocking specific receptors on platelets, the cells responsible for blood clotting, making them less likely to stick together. This helps keep blood flowing smoothly and reduces the risk of heart attacks or strokes caused by blockages. Tirofiban is usually given in a hospital setting under medical supervision, particularly in emergency or surgical situations where blood clots are a concern.
