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:
- possess an ulcer in the stomach or have had ulcers in the past
- have experienced brain bleeding (a brain hemorrhage)
