Patient summary
Clopidogrel 75mg film-coated tablets, used in the management of atherothrombotic events, myocardial infarction and stroke. A P2Y12 antiplatelet.
Mechanism of action
Clopidogrel is a prodrug that irreversibly inhibits the P2Y12 subtype of ADP receptors on blood platelets. This prevents platelet activation and aggregation, reducing the formation of clots in the bloodstream.
Plavix is the original brand of clopidogrel, a medication designed to reduce the risk of atherothrombotic events, including myocardial infarction and stroke. Available as 75mg tablets, the medication assists in preventing blood platelets from adhering to one another to help maintain stable blood flow for long-term health management.
