Thienopyridines are a class of antithrombotic drugs used in the treatment of hematological diseases. They are used to prevent the formation of blood clots, which can lead to serious medical complications such as stroke, heart attack, and deep vein thrombosis. Thienopyridines work by inhibiting the enzyme thrombin, which is responsible for the formation of blood clots. They are commonly prescribed to patients with atrial fibrillation, a condition in which the heart beats irregularly. Thienopyridines are generally well-tolerated and have few side effects. They are available in both oral and injectable forms, and can be used in combination with other antithrombotic drugs. They are also used in the prevention of recurrent venous thromboembolism, a condition in which blood clots form in the veins. The thienopyridine market is an important part of the hematological drugs market. It is a rapidly growing market, driven by the increasing prevalence of hematological diseases and the need for effective treatments. Some of the major companies in the thienopyridine market include Bristol-Myers Squibb, Pfizer, Sanofi, AstraZeneca, and Boehringer Ingelheim. Show Less Read more
