List/resource that compiles drugs related to blood transfusion

[bowerj1 14]

Hello,

Maybe a long shot, but here's what I'm looking for. Does anyone have or have they seen a list of medications that are especially relevant to transfusion medicine. Darzalex, fludarabine, plavix, aspirin, tranexamic acid and many others. I find myself not always remembering how the drugs work and have to look them up to be better informed. What I'm thinking, as an example,  is an order for platelets when the count is normal and helping to confirm they are on a medication that causes dysfunctional platelets. Has anyone compiled a list of these and how they effect blood bank, mechanisms of action, etc? Have any suggestions? Maybe I'll make my own list but thought I'd ask first.

Thank you!

Hi, you could start with the medication deferral list that is provided to blood donors to review to determine their eligibility.  Meds that may affect blood products are most likely listed here.  http://www.aabb.org/tm/questionnaires/Documents/dhq/v2/DHQ Medication Deferral List v2.0.pdf

Thank you tcoyle. I hadn't thought of looking on the donor side. Of course most of the drugs I'm thinking of are on that list. Great starting point!
