Shazmah Shaikh: One Visual Guide to Understand All Major Anticoagulants
Shazmah Shaikh, Doctor of Pharmacy at BLDE Association’s College of Pharmacy, shared a post on LinkedIn:
”One chart. Multiple life-saving drugs. Endless clinical decisions.
Understanding anticoagulants is not just about memorizing names – it’s about knowing when to use them, how to monitor them, when to stop them, and most importantly, how to prevent harm while saving lives.
From:
- Heparin and LMWH
- Warfarin
- DOACs (Apixaban, Rivaroxaban, Dabigatran, Dabigatran)
to critical concepts like:
- INR and aPTT monitoring
- HIT management
- Reversal agents
- Pregnancy considerations
- Mechanical valve recommendations
- ICU and emergency pearls
I created this image to simplify anticoagulation pharmacotherapy into a quick, high-yield visual resource for:
- PharmD students
- MBBS students
- Nursing students
- Clinical interns
- Healthcare professionals
Clinical pharmacology becomes easier when concepts are connected visually rather than memorized line by line.
Saving this post might help you during:
- Ward rounds
- Viva exams
- Clinical postings
- Pharmacology revision
- Emergency medicine prep
- ICU discussions
Healthcare education should be practical, evidence-based, and accessible. More high-yield clinical infographics coming soon.
