DESCRIPTION

Clopidogrel stops tiny blood cells called platelets from sticking together and forming clots. These clots can block blood flow to your heart or brain, causing heart attacks or strokes. Doctors give it to people who've had a heart attack, stroke, chest pain, or poor blood flow in legs, or after getting a stent in heart arteries. It often pairs with aspirin to work even better, and you take it once a day—sometimes a bigger first dose.

Clopidogrel works by stopping tiny blood cells called platelets from sticking together. Normally, platelets clump at spots where blood vessels are damaged to form clots and stop bleeding. But sometimes these clots form inside blood vessels when not needed, blocking blood flow and causing heart attacks or strokes.

Clopidogrel blocks a special receptor on platelets called P2Y12, which is needed for platelets to activate and stick together. By blocking this receptor, it keeps platelets from clumping and forming harmful clots. This helps blood flow smoothly in your arteries and lowers the chance of heart problems caused by clots.
