A member asked:
When should someone take the blood thinner clopidogrel 75mg? what are the side effects?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Multiple: Clopidogrel is technically not a blood thinner, but an anti-platelet agent. It keeps your platelets from sticking together, which is the first step in clot formation. Common uses are to help a recently placed stent heal, prevent recurrent TIAs, or mini-strokes, and to reduce cardiac risks in patient with peripheral vascular disease.
