Mode of Action

Aspirin inhibits the formation of thromboxane A2 in the platelets. This inhibits platelet aggregation and coagulation. This action lasts until the enzyme cyclo-oxygenase is regenerated in the platelets. Clopidogrel is a prodrug and is metabolised an active thiol metabolite. The active metabolite selectively inhibits the binding of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) to its platelet receptor and the subsequent ADP-mediated activation of the glycoprotein GP IIb/IIIa complex, thereby inhibiting platelet aggregation.

Interaction

Aspirin: Corticosteroids, phenylbutazone and oxyphenbutazone may increase risk of GI ulceration. Use with coumarins, anagrelide, agatroban, LMWH, bivalirudin, dasatinib, iloprost, lepirudin and tenecteplase may increase the risk of bleeding. Clopidogrel: Co-administration of clopidogrel with NSAIDs may increase the risk of stomach and intestinal bleeding. There is an increased risk of bleeding with coumarins, agatroban, dasatinib, heparin, LMWH, gingko biloba and iloprost. Increased risk of bleeding if clopidogrel and drotrecogin alfa are given within 7 days. May increase bupropion level and side effects (lightheadedness , GI discomfort). Potentially Fatal: Aspirin and clopidogrel: Increased risk of bleeding with dabigatran.
