Prevention of atherothrombotic events (heart attack, stroke) in patients with recent myocardial infarction, recent ischemic stroke, or established peripheral arterial disease; used in acute coronary syndrome and after coronary stenting as prescribed
How It Works
Clopidogrel is an antiplatelet medicine that irreversibly blocks the platelet P2Y12 (ADP) receptor. This reduces platelet activation and aggregation, helping prevent formation of harmful blood clots in arteries.
Directions for Use
Take exactly as prescribed, usually once daily, with or without food. Swallow tablet whole with water; take at the same time each day. Do not stop suddenly without medical advice, especially after stent/ACS.
Increases risk of bleeding; seek urgent care for unusual bleeding, black stools, blood in urine, vomiting blood, severe headache/weakness. Inform doctor before surgery/dental procedures. Use caution in liver disease, peptic ulcer, bleeding disorders. Rare: thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and severe allergic reactions.
Drug Interactions
Aspirin/NSAIDs and other antiplatelets/anticoagulants (warfarin, heparin, DOACs) increase bleeding risk; CYP2C19 inhibitors (omeprazole, esomeprazole) may reduce effect; SSRIs/SNRIs may increase bleeding risk; strong CYP inducers/inhibitors may alter response
