The primary consequence of activation is a conformational change of an integrin present in the platelet membrane, namely, GPIIB/IIIA. In its active conformation, GPIIB/IIIA shows high affinity for fibrinogen; each platelet contains up to 50,000 copies.
Thus, gallstones can be dissolved in the course of a 1- to 2 y treatment, provided that cholesterol stones are pure and not too large (<15 mm), gall bladder function is normal, liver disease is absent, and patients are of normal body weight. UCDA is more effective (daily dose, 8–10 mg) and better tolerated than is CDCA (15 mg/d; frequent diarrhea, elevation of liver enzymes in plasma).
