Overview

Medical Therapy

Pharmacologic therapy in patients with intracranial hemorrhage include:[1]

  • Hemostatic therapy to correct the underlying coagulopathies. Agents that can be used to achieve this goal may differ based on the oral anticoagulant agent which resulted in the bleeding complications.
  • The following agents can be used for warfarin reversal:[2][3][4]
    • Fresh Frozen Plasma (FFP)
    • Prothrombin Complex Concentrates (PCCs)
  • Protamine sulfate is another agent that can be used for heparin-induced Intracranial hemorrhage.[5]
