===Class I===
 
# [[Aspirin]] should be administered to [[UA]] / [[NSTEMI]] patients as soon as possible after hospital presentation and continued indefinitely in patients not known to be intolerant of that medication. (Level of Evidence: A)
 
# [[Clopidogrel]] (loading dose followed by daily maintenance dose) should be administered to [[UA]] / [[NSTEMI]] patients who are unable to take [[ASA]] because of hypersensitivity or major gastrointestinal intolerance. (Level of Evidence: A)
 
# In [[UA]] / [[NSTEMI]] patients with a history of [[gastrointestinal bleeding]], when [[ASA]] and [[clopidogrel]] are administered alone or in combination, drugs to minimize the risk of recurrent [[gastrointestinal bleeding]] (e.g., [[proton pump inhibitor]]s) should be prescribed concomitantly. (Level of Evidence: B)
 
# For [[UA]] / [[NSTEMI]] patients in whom an initial invasive strategy is selected, [[antiplatelet therapy]] in addition to [[aspirin]] should be initiated before diagnostic angiography (upstream) with either [[clopidogrel]] (loading dose followed by daily maintenance dose) or an intravenous [[GP IIb/IIIa inhibitor]]. (Level of Evidence: A) [[Abciximab]] as the choice for upstream GP IIb/IIIa therapy is indicated only if there is no appreciable delay to angiography and PCI is likely to be performed; otherwise, IV [[eptifibatide]] or [[tirofiban]] is the preferred choice of GP IIb/IIIa inhibitor. (Level of Evidence: B)
 
# For [[UA]] / [[NSTEMI]] patients in whom an initial conservative (i.e., noninvasive) strategy is selected, [[clopidogrel]] (loading dose followed by daily maintenance dose) should be added to [[ASA]] and [[anticoagulant therapy]] as soon as possible after admission and administered for at least 1 month (Level of Evidence: A) and ideally up to 1 year. (Level of Evidence: B)
 
# For [[UA]] / [[NSTEMI]] patients in whom an initial conservative strategy is selected, if recurrent symptoms/[[ischemia]], [[HF]], or serious arrhythmias subsequently appear, then diagnostic angiography should be performed. (Level of Evidence: A) Either an intravenous GP IIb/IIIa inhibitor ([[eptifibatide]] or [[tirofiban]]; Level of Evidence: A) or [[clopidogrel]] (loading dose followed by daily maintenance dose; Level of Evidence: A) should be added to [[ASA]] and [[anticoagulant therapy]] before diagnostic angiography (upstream).(Level of Evidence: C)
 
===Class IIa===
 
# For [[UA]] / [[NSTEMI]] patients in whom an initial conservative strategy is selected and who have recurrent ischemic discomfort with [[clopidogrel]], [[ASA]], and [[anticoagulant therapy]], it is reasonable to add a [[GP IIb/IIIa antagonist]] before [[diagnostic angiography]]. (Level of Evidence: C)
 
# For [[UA]] / [[NSTEMI]] patients in whom an initial invasive strategy is selected, it is reasonable to initiate [[antiplatelet therapy]] with both [[clopidogrel]] (loading dose followed by daily maintenance dose) and an intravenous [[GP IIb/IIIa inhibitor]]. (Level of Evidence: B) [[Abciximab]] as the choice for upstream [[GP IIb/IIIa]] therapy is indicated only if there is no appreciable delay to [[coronary angiography]] and [[PCI]] is likely to be performed; otherwise, IV [[eptifibatide]] or [[tirofiban]] is the preferred choice of [[GP IIb/IIIa inhibitor]]. (Level of Evidence: B)
 
# For [[UA]] / [[NSTEMI]] patients in whom an initial invasive strategy is selected, it is reasonable to omit upstream administration of an intravenous [[GP IIb/IIIa antagonist]] before [[diagnostic angiography]] if [[bivalirudin]] is selected as the [[anticoagulant]] and at least 300 mg of [[clopidogrel]] was administered at least 6 h earlier than planned [[cardiac catheterization|catheterization]] or [[PCI]]. (Level of Evidence: B)
 
===Class IIb===
 
# For [[UA]] / [[NSTEMI]] patients in whom an initial conservative (i.e., noninvasive) strategy is selected, it may be reasonable to add [[eptifibatide]] or [[tirofiban]] to [[anticoagulant therapy|anticoagulant]] and oral [[antiplatelet therapy]]. (Level of Evidence: B)
 
 
===Class III===
 
# [[Abciximab]] should not be administered to patients in whom [[PCI]] is not planned. (Level of Evidence: A)
