About zalunfiban

Zalunfiban is an investigational next-generation GPIIb/IIIa platelet inhibitor that was specifically designed for pre-hospital treatment of STEMI heart attacks and is injected subcutaneously (under the skin).

Zalunfiban reaches maximal effect within 15 minutes and its antiplatelet effect wears off in about two hours. 1[1] Bentur OS, et al.
