Interactions of fentanyl with blood platelets and plasma proteins: platelet sensitivity to prasugrel metabolite is not affected by fentanyl under in vitro conditions
Abstract:Background
Clinical trials indicate that fentanyl, like morphine, may impair intestinal absorption and thus decrease the efficacy of oral P2Y12 inhibitors, such as clopidogrel, ticagrelor, and prasugrel. However, the ability of fentanyl to directly negate or reduce the inhibitory effect of P2Y12 receptor antagonists on platelet function has not been established. A series of in vitro experiments was performed to investigate the ability of fentanyl to activate platelets, potentiate platelet respons… Show more
