Clopidogrel is a widely prescribed oral antiplatelet medication that plays a significant role in preventing blood clots in patients with a history of heart attack, stroke, or other conditions related to blood vessels. A member of the thienopyridine class of ADP receptor inhibitors, clopidogrel works by inhibiting the aggregation of platelets, essential components in the blood clotting process. Its primary use is in the prevention of future cardiovascular events in individuals at risk, offering a proactive approach to managing cardiovascular health.

Description

The active agent in clopidogrel, clopidogrel bisulfate, works by selectively and irreversibly binding to P2Y12 class of ADP receptors found on platelets. This action inhibits the ADP-mediated activation of the GPIIb/IIIa complex, thereby reducing platelet aggregation. Clopidogrel is especially valuable in patients undergoing angioplasty or stent placement procedures, as it prevents the stent from occluding by inhibiting the clotting. It ensures smoother blood flow and reduces the patient’s risk of a serious cardiovascular event.
