The lack of a NOAC reversal agent is a significant clinical concern for many physicians. Current reversal agents for unfractionated heparin, low molecular weight heparins and warfarin are less than optimal, and there are no effective reversal agents for NOAC s. Development programs for anticoagulant...
In an exciting era with many alternatives to the old anticoagulants heparin and warfarin emerging on the scene, awareness of the possibility to reverse their effect is mandatory. In this review, the traditional antidotes for warfarin (vitamin K, plasma, and prothrombin complex concentrate) and for...

Therefore, several reversal agents for the DOACs are in development. This includes the specific reversal agent idarucizumab, which has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency for use in patients treated with dabigatran when urgent reversal of its ...
The only 4F-PCC indicated for the urgent reversal of acquired coagulation factor deficiency induced by vitamin K antagonist (VKA, eg, warfarin) therapy in adult patients with: Need for urgent surgery/invasive procedure or Acute major bleeding ...
Bleeding disorders can happen as a result of some medications, such as blood thinner, which includes warfarin, heparin, and aspirin. The high risk of bleeding varies with the anticoagulant agent used. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) data, the occurrence of ble...

Plasma should be used only if PCCs are unavailable or are contraindicated.#Reversal of warfarin anticoagulation can be achieved in a safe and timely manner when the appropriate agent is selected and administered correctly.doi:10.1007/s12630-015-0366-3R.Curtis...
These products are non-inferior to warfarin and heparin in their anticoagulant effects. Unfortunately, rivaroxaban is not as easily reversed as warfain or heparin in the emergency setting. There is evidence to confirm PCC as a reversal agent for anticoagulants; however, no trial was specific ...
Currently there is no specific reversal agent for apixaban. Prothrombin complex concentrates (PCC) are used to stop severe bleeding in patients on warfarin therapy or with blood clotting factor deficiency. Recently, several preclinical and limited clinical studies have shown that reversal of the ...
