Anti-clotting drug. Molecular model of the anti- clotting drug clopidogrel. The atoms are represented as spheres and are colour-coded: carbon (red),hydrogen (white),oxygen (green),nitrogen (yellow),sulphur (blue) and chlorine (purple). Clopidogrel is used to prevent the formation of blood clots in patients with a history of heart attack,stroke,or peripheral vascular disease. It works by inhibiting adenosine diphosphate,a substance that induces blood platelet cells to aggregate and form blood clots. It can be used by patients unable to take aspirin | |
