specialist physicians experienced
in the management of acute coronary syndromes.
INTEGRILIN solution for infusion must be used in conjunction with

Concurrent administration of heparin is recommended unless this is
contraindicated for reasons
such as a history of thrombocytopenia associated with use of heparin
(see ‘Heparin administration’,

acetylsalicylic acid, as it is part
of standard management of patients with acute coronary syndromes,
unless its use is
