FAQs

Eptiday Injection contains Eptifibatide (anti-glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor), which works by blocking the glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor's activity, thereby preventing platelet aggregation. This causes inhibition of fibrinogen binding, reducing the chance of blood clot formation.

Eptiday Injection is known to increase the risk of bleeding. However, if the patient has uncontrollable bleeding, discontinue the medicine immediately.

Eptiday Injection may cause anaemia (low haemoglobin and low red blood cell count). So, it would be best to include iron-rich food in your diet to prevent anaemia.

About Eptiday Injection

Eptiday Injection belongs to the group of medicines called 'antiplatelet agents' used to prevent the formation of blood clots, thereby reducing the chance of Myocardial infarction. Eptiday Injection is used in the treatment of Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in both patients who need to be managed medically and also people undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures. ACS is defined as a group of serious cardiac conditions wherein the blood flow to the heart decreases due to plaque formation. Eptiday Injection is also used in the treatment of patients undergoing urgent PCI procedures and also in patients undergoing intracoronary stenting.

Eptiday Injection contains Eptifibatide, which belongs to the monoclonal anti-glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor antibodies class. It works by blocking the glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor's activity, thereby preventing platelet aggregation. This causes inhibition of fibrinogen binding, reducing the chance of blood clot formation. Eptiday Injection reduces the risk of cardiovascular events like myocardial infarction (heart attack).

Eptiday Injection may cause certain side effects, such as bleeding, nausea, headache, abdominal pain, hypotension, vomiting, dizziness, decreased platelet count, and pain at the site of injection. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist, please consult your doctor.

Eptiday Injection is known to cause bleeding problems. If you observe severe bleeding that cannot be controlled, it is advised to stop administering Eptiday Injection immediately. Hence, close monitoring is needed for any bleeding conditions. Talk to your doctor before receiving Eptiday Injection if you had a recent severe injury or surgery due to the risk of severe bleeding problems.
