A nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (nsaid) with antiplatelet properties.
An antiplatelet medication that works differently than aspirin.
Prevention of atherothrombotic events (heart attack, stroke) in patients with coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, or cerebrovascular disease.
Following acute coronary syndrome (heart attack) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Aspirin irreversibly inhibits platelet cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1), reducing thromboxane A2 production and platelet aggregation. Clopidogrel inhibits the binding of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) to its receptor on platelets, further reducing platelet aggregation. The combination provides enhanced antiplatelet effect.
