• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-[4-(4-Chlorophenoxy)phenoxy]propanoic acid (clopidogrel) is a platelet aggregation inhibitor that is used in combination with other drugs to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke and blood clot formation. Clopidogrel belongs to the group of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which work by blocking the action of prostaglandins and leukotrienes. The active form of clopidogrel is metabolized via an ATP-binding cassette transporter (ABCB1). Clopidogrel has been shown to be effective in dyslipidemia, a condition characterized by high levels of cholesterol and triglycerides. Clopidogrel therapy also reduces the risk of cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction and stroke. Clopidogrel is absorbed rapidly from the gut, with peak plasma concentrations achieved within 3 hours after administration. The drug is extensively metabolized in humans, primarily through
