Clopidogrel is an antiplatelet medication that reduces platelet-driven blood clot formation. It is used in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular medicine as part of medical therapy to prevent arterial thrombosis. It is commonly prescribed after acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with coronary stenting. It is also used in selected patients with ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA), or peripheral artery disease (PAD).
