What is Clopidogrel Bisulfate

Clopidogrel bisulfate belongs to the thienopyridine class of drugs. It was patented in 1982 and approved for medical use in 1997. It is on the World Health Organization’s List of Essential Medicines. It is an antiplatelet- drug and works by irreversibly inhibiting a receptor called P2Y12 on platelets.

Plavix is one of the many brand names for it. After a heart attack, severe chest pain (angina), or circulation difficulties, clopidogrel is used to reduce your risk of having a stroke, blood clot, or major heart disease. Platelet inhibition can be seen two hours after taking a single dose of oral clopidogrel, but because the beginning of action is slow, a loading dose of 600 or 300 mg is used when a quick effect is required.

Macsen Laboratories is the supplier of high-quality Clopidogrel Bisulfate.
