Uses
Ciraparantag TFA is a thrombin and factor Xa inhibitor. Ciraparantag TFA is a broad-spectrum reversal agent for anticoagulants, including low-molecular-weight heparin, unfractionated heparin, and certain direct oral anticoagulants. It is reported to antagonize the effects of all coagulants except VKAs and agratroban[1][2][3][4].
