Overview
Mechanisms of benefit
- Clopidogrel is a thienopyridine derivative which prevents adenosine diphosphate–mediated activation of platelets by selectively and irreversibly inhibiting the binding of adenosine diphosphate to its platelet receptors and thereby blocking adenosine diphosphate–dependent activation of the glycoprotein IIb/IIIa complex.
- Ticlopidine, another thienopyridine derivative, decreases platelet function in patients with stable angina but, unlike aspirin, has not been shown to decrease adverse cardiovascular events
Indication
- If aspirin use is contraindicated, clopidogrel is advisable.
Contra-indications
Drug interactions
- Use of warfarin in conjunction with aspirin and/or clopidogrel is associated with an increased risk of bleeding and should be monitored closely.
Adverse effects
Supportive trial data
- In the Clopidogrel Versus Aspirin in Patients at Risk of Ischemic Events (CAPRIE) trial, randomized comparison between clopidogrel and aspirin showed that clopidogrel resulted in 8.7% relative risk reduction of vascular death, ischemic stroke, or [[myocardial infarction[[ among patients with established atherosclerotic vascular disease.
- In the latest Clopidogrel for High Atherothrombotic Risk and Ischemic Stabilization, Management, and Avoidance (CHARISMA) trial, dual anti platelet therapy with clopidogrel plus aspirin was not significantly more effective compared to aspirin alone in reducing the rate of myocardial infarction, stroke, or cardiovascular death in patients with established vascular disease or at high risk for developing vascular disease.
