Situation: A patient with hypertension developed bleeding at the puncture site while on intergrilin therapy.
Reaction: Oh my God! Why was the anti–platelet agent started?
Lasson: Make Sure that before starting intergrilin the BP is checked. Severe hypertension i.e., systolic BP ≥ 200 mmHg or diastolic BP >110 mmHg not adequately controlled on antihypertensive therapy is a contraindication for intergrilin therapy.
