Ischaemic events

Clopidogrel is indicated for prevention of vascular ischaemic events in patients with symptomatic atherosclerosis. It is also used, along with aspirin, for the prevention of thromboembolism after placement of an intracoronary stent. Platelet inhibition can be demonstrated two hours after a single dose of oral clopidogrel, but the onset of action is slow, so that a loading-dose is usually administered. Although rare, severe neutropenia and also thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura may occur.
