Comparison on anticoagulation and antiplatelet aggregation effects of puerarin with heparin sodium and tirofiban hydrochloride: an in Vitro study

ConclusionsPuerarin has similar anticoagulant and antiplatelet effects with the heparin sodium, and may have a lower hemorrhage risk than heparin sodium when obtained the same anticoagulation effect in the concentration range of this experiment. In addition, for high concentration, puerarin had the same antiplatelet function as tirofiban hydrochloride but with a larger individual variability.
