Platelet Aggregation Inhibitors

Platelet aggregation inhibitors are medications that prevent blood platelets from clumping together, reducing the risk of blood clots. These clots can block blood flow in arteries, leading to heart attacks or strokes. The drugs work by interfering with the chemical signals that promote platelet clumping, ensuring blood flows smoothly. They are commonly prescribed for people with cardiovascular disease, after certain surgeries, or to prevent clot-related events. These medications help maintain clear blood vessels, but they also increase the risk of bleeding, so they should be used under medical supervision.
