A member asked:

Does taking clopidogrel and 81mg asprin daily act as a prophylaxis for heart attack and/or stroke?

Clopidogrel is an antiplatelet medication used for prophylactic inhibition of platelet aggregation which can help prevent strokes. A low dose aspirin (81mg.) is often given to prevent clotting, which also reduces incidence of strokes and heart attacks via obstruction of the coronary vessels.
