Tirofiban is a platelet aggregation inhibitor, also known under the brand name Aggrastat, it is used to prevent thrombotic events from occurring in those who are high-risk. It is administered intravenously and acts as an antagonist of the platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor, this receptor is responsible for platelet aggregation in order to form a thrombus, without this signal from the receptor it stops aggregation. This inhibition created by the drug will cease once the drug is no longer infused into the patient's bloodstream.
