It is very reasonable for the nurse to believe that this individual taking clopidogrel, has a background of coronary artery disease.

What is the function of the clopidogrel drug?

  • It is an antiplatelet drug. It stops platelets, a kind of blood cell, from congregating and creating a potentially harmful blood clot.
  • If one has a higher risk of developing blood clots, using clopidogrel can help.
  • Clopidogrel has been shown to reduce the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, and vascular mortality in people with atherosclerosis and in those who have had coronary stents implanted.
  • ITP, CVA, and hemophilia are not suggested conditions to be treated with it.

When not to use clopidogrel?

For some folks, clopidogrel is not a good choice. In order to ensure that this medication is safe for you, let your doctor know if you:

  1. possess an ulcer in the stomach or have had ulcers in the past
  2. have experienced brain bleeding (a brain hemorrhage)
  3. having a bleeding condition, such as hemophilia
