Abciximab is a medication that belongs to the class of antiplatelet drugs. It is typically used in combination with aspirin and heparin to prevent blood clots during certain medical procedures, such as angioplasty and stent placement. Abciximab works by blocking the receptor sites on platelets that are responsible for their aggregation and clumping, thereby reducing the risk of blood clots forming. It may also be used to treat acute coronary syndrome or myocardial infarction.
