Effects of Clopidogrel in Addition to Aspirin in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndromes without ST-Segment Elevation [PDF]
BACKGROUND Despite current treatments, patients who have acute coronary syndromes without ST-segment elevation have high rates of major vascular events. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of the antiplatelet agent clopidogrel when given with aspirin in

Clopidogrel and proton pump inhibitor (PPI) interaction: separate intake and a non-omeprazole PPI the solution? [PDF]
Background Dual therapy with aspirin and clopidogrel increases the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. Therefore, co-therapy with a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) is recommended by most guidelines.

Clopidogrel Bisulfate (Profiles of Drugs Substances, Excipients and Related Methodology) [PDF]
Clopidogrel contains a center of dissymmetry, and hence is capable of being resolved into its two mirror image compounds. It has been found that only the (S)-enantiomer, which corresponds to the dextrorotatory form, has antithrombotic activity and that ...

Clopidogrel Management in Abdominal Surgery: A Comparison of Perioperative Bleeding Risks with Low-Molecular-Weight Heparin Bridging, No-Bridging and Clopidogrel Continuation Strategies. [PDF]
Clopidogrel is usually discontinued 5–7 days before elective surgery to reduce the risk of bleeding. However, the perioperative safety of patients receiving low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) bridging therapy or continuing clopidogrel therapy remains ...

Ilaprazole and Clopidogrel Resistance in Acute Stroke Patients
Clopidogrel, an antiplatelet agent used for secondary prevention of cerebrovascular diseases, is often taken with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). Generally, the combined use of clopidogrel and PPIs causes adverse drug–drug interactions.

Acute myocardial infarction occurring while on chronic clopidogrel therapy ('clopidogrel failure') is associated with high incidence of clopidogrel poor responsiveness and stent thrombosis. [PDF]
The clinical significance of the laboratory-based phenomenon of clopidogrel hypo-responsiveness and platelet reactivity associated with acute myocardial infarction, despite chronic clopidogrel therapy, is largely unknown.
