Integrilin (Millennium Pharm): Full Drug Profile

Medically reviewed by Min Clinic Staff | Updated: January 2026

Integrilin (Millennium Pharm) - General Information

Synthetic cyclic hexapeptide that binds to platelet receptor glycoprotein and inhibits platelet aggregation.

 

Pharmacology of Integrilin (Millennium Pharm)

Integrilin (Millennium Pharm) is an anti-coagulant that selectively blocks the platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor. Integrilin (Millennium Pharm) is a cyclic heptapeptide derived from a protein found in the venom of the southeastern pygmy rattlesnake (Sistrurus miliarus barbouri). It belongs to the class of the so called arginin-glycin-aspartat-mimetics and reversibly binds to platelets.

Integrilin (Millennium Pharm) Interactions

Enoxaparin dosed as a 1.0 mg/kg subcutaneous injection q12h for four doses did not alter the pharmacokinetics of eptifibatide or the level of platelet aggregation in healthy adults.

 

Integrilin (Millennium Pharm) Contraindications

Treatment with eptifibatide is contraindicated in patients with:

  • A history of bleeding diathesis, or evidence of active abnormal bleeding within the previous 30 days.
  • Severe hypertension (systolic blood pressure >200 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure >110 mm Hg) not adequately controlled on antihypertensive therapy.
  • Major surgery within the preceding 6 weeks.
  • History of stroke within 30 days or any history of hemorrhagic stroke.
  • Current or planned administration of another parenteral GP IIb/IIIa inhibitor.
  • Dependency on renal dialysis.
  • Known hypersensitivity to any component of the product.

For treatment of myocardial infarction and acute coronary syndrome.

Mechanism Of Action
Integrilin (Millennium Pharm) inhibits platelet aggregation by reversibly binding to the platelet receptor glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa of human platelets, thus preventing the binding of fibrinogen, von Willebrand factor, and other adhesive ligands. Inhibition of platelet aggregation occurs in a dose- and concentration-dependent manner.
