Clopidogrel

Clopidogrel is a medication that helps prevent blood clots by stopping platelets in your blood from sticking together. It’s commonly prescribed to reduce the risk of heart attacks or strokes in people with certain heart conditions or after procedures like stent placements. By making platelets less sticky, it helps keep blood flowing smoothly through your arteries. Clopidogrel is usually taken once daily and works as part of a broader treatment plan. It’s important to follow your doctor’s instructions closely, as stopping or missing doses can increase the risk of clot formation.
