A member asked:
Is the half life of plavix (clopidogrel) 75 mg. approx. 6 hours and peak time 2 hours after dosing has been done several months?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not biologically: Plavix (clopidogrel) binds permanently to platelets -- with biological half life of 5-10 days -- this is what's important to remember.
