Description
Clopidogrel is an antiplatelet agent that is often used in combination with aspirin to help reduce the risk of an MI.
The risk of bleed is a high priority with the use of clopidogrel. Patients must be monitored for signs and symptoms of bleeding and bruising.
Clopidogrel is a prodrug that is converted to its active metabolite by CYP2C19.
Fluconazole can inhibit CYP2C19 which may reduce the effectiveness of clopidogrel.
