Drug Overview
Plavix (clopidogrel; Sanofi/Bristol-Myers Squibb) is an antiplatelet agent that inhibits blood clot formation. It works by irreversibly binding to the blood platelet’s adenosine diphosphate (ADP) P2Y12 receptor, preventing ADP-mediated activation of the glycoprotein IIb/IIIa complex. By preventing the activation of this complex, Plavix prevents platelet aggregation from occurring, and prevents the formation of blood clots.
