Frequently asked questions about Abciximab

What is abciximab?
Abciximab is an antiplatelet medication given through the vein (intravenous, IV) by a trained healthcare provider in the hospital. It prevents blood cells called platelets from sticking together and blocking blood vessels in people getting a PCI (a procedure to open blood vessels). It's also used in people with a condition called unstable angina (when the heart doesn't get enough oxygen) who aren't responding well to other medications and have a PCI planned within 24 hours.
Is abciximab still available?
No, abciximab has been discontinued by the manufacturer and is no longer available in the United States.
Why was abciximab discontinued?
The manufacturer, Janssen, reported an interruption in production at one of their manufacturing sites. They made the decision to remove abciximab from the market in the United States voluntarily, and their decision wasn't due to any safety issues.
