Dosage Forms & StrengthsÂ
Injectable solutionÂ
10000 kallikrein inhibitor units/mlÂ
Coronary Artery Stent Thrombosis, PreventionÂ
10,000 KIU test dose ten minutes prior to the procedure.
The loading dose consists of 1,000,000–2,000,000 KIU administered slowly by IV infusion or over a 20–30-minute period following the induction of anesthesia and 250,000–500,000 KIU/hour administered continuously until the procedure is completed
To the heart-lung machine's pump prime, an extra dose of 1,000,000–2,000,000 KIU is added. Maximum: 7 million KIU
Maximum flow: 5–10 mL/min

menadione could potentially enhance the thrombogenic effects of aprotinin
aprotinin might enhance levobetaxolol’s bradycardic effects
aprotinin: they may increase the CNS depressant effect of CNS Depressants
aprotinin: they may increase the CNS depressant effect of CNS Depressants
aprotinin: they may increase the CNS depressant effect of CNS Depressants
aprotinin: they may increase the CNS depressant effect of CNS Depressants
aprotinin: they may increase the CNS depressant effect of CNS Depressants
when both drugs are combined, there may be a decrease in the therapeutic effect
When aprotinin is used together in combination with profenamine, this leads to reduction in therapeutic effectiveness of profenamine
Actions and spectrum:Â
Aprotinin inhibits proteolytic enzymes like kallikrein, plasmin, trypsin, and chymotrypsin. And it suppresses the activation of coagulation during the contact phase which begins the coagulation process and stimulates fibrinolysis.Â

AbsorptionÂ
It is rapidly absorbed.Â
DistributionÂ
Peak plasma time is 150 mins.Â
MetabolismÂ
The metabolism occurs in kidney to amino acids or smaller peptides due to lysosomal activity.Â
Elimination and excretionÂ
It is eliminated through urine with half-life 5 hrs.Â
Administration:Â
Aprotinin is given as IV infusion with a test dose administered before the first dose.Â
