Vorapaxar, sold under the brand name Zontivity, is a medication used to decrease the risk of heart attacks and stroke in those with atherosclerosis.[2] Overall benefits; however, remain unclear as of 2021.[2] It is taken by mouth.[2]
Common side effects include bleeding, which may include intracranial bleeding.[2] It is a thrombin receptor (protease-activated receptor, PAR-1) blocker based on the natural product himbacine.[3] It works by blocking platelet aggregation.[2]
Vorapaxar was approved for medical use in the United States in 2014.[2] While it was approved for use in Europe in 2015, this approval was withdrawn in 2017.[4][5] In the United States it costs about 370 USD per month as of 2021.[6]
