Blood thinner 'Angiomax' less harmful for heart patients!

Angiomax-the blood thinning drug works in the same way as its rival other drugs do, but there is something that makes this drug somewhat special. And that special thing is that by using it patient is at 47 percent lesser risk of major bleeding, heart attack or severe chest pain. This fact has been given vent by a new study that roofed about 14,000 patients.

Trying to prove drug Angiomax, which is also called Bivalirudin, the best Dr. Gregg Stone, of the Columbia University Medical Center and the trial’s lead investigator said:

Use of bivalirudin alone … could prevent a significant number of major bleeding episodes and blood transfusions every year in the United States and elsewhere.

I think through this study it has been made clear that by using drug Angiomax, patients with heart problem can hope for a better life. In addition, another good thing about Angiomax is that it is simple to use and costs less, means it is easily accessible.
