A member asked:
What is the blood test to confirm the body can convert plavix to the active form ?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Although plavix is a prodrug converted in the body by an enzyme reaction, I'm unaware of clinicians ordering any blood testing before prescribing it. A pharmacologist may provide more information about plavix for you.

The rate at which different people convert pro-drug to the active form is variable. Visit this site for information on this topic: https://www.clevelandheartlab.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/CYP2C19-Practitioner-OnePager-CHL-D022.pdf
