Clopidogrel
Antiplatelet — used after stents and in some stroke prevention
Clopidogrel (Plavix) prevents platelets from forming clots. Common after a coronary stent, after some strokes/TIAs, and in peripheral artery disease. Often combined with low-dose ASA short-term after a stent.
How the pharmacy helps
We dispense 75 mg tablets. The pharmacist will flag PPI interactions — pantoprazole is generally preferred over omeprazole when both are needed.
