Pharma BCQ- Thrombocytopenia


ANSWER: B

DESCRIPTION
Heparin causes immune mediated thrombocytopenia, which arise 5- 10 days after the administration of heparin, so it is recommended to check platelet count before starting treatment with heparin. When heparin is used for treatment, platelet count is monitored on daily basis, and if spontaneous bleeding occurs with the use of heparin, it must be stopped. Factor VIII is required in the treatment and prophylaxis of hemorrhage associated with hemophilia.
