This document summarizes drugs used to treat bleeding disorders, including vitamin K, plasma fractions, and fibrinolytic inhibitors like aminocaproic acid and aprotinin. Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin found in leafy greens and synthesized in the intestines that comes in forms K1 and K2 and requires bile for absorption. It is available as 5 mg tablets and 50 mg ampoules, with full effect within 24 hours, though IV administration must be slow to avoid side effects like pain and difficulty breathing. Plasma fractions and drugs like aminocaproic acid and aprotinin are also mentioned as fibrinolytic inhibitors used for bleeding disorders.
