🖊️Abciximab Summary. Abciximab is a platelet aggregation inhibitor mainly used during and after coronary artery procedures like angioplasty to prevent platelets from sticking together and causing thrombus formation within coronary arteries. Abciximab works as a glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor. 🛒Brand: ReoPro The most common type of bleeding due to abciximab use is GI hemorrhage. It has a very short half-life - about 10 minutes - but its effects on platelet function can be seen for up to 48 hours after the infusion. Low levels of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor blockade are present for up to 15 days post-infusion. #naplex
