Investigating the Risk of Adverse Cardiovascular Events Associated with Concomitant Treatment of Clopidogrel and Protein Pump Inhibitors

Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are commonly coadministered with clopidogrel, an antiplatelet agent, to patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Mechanistic studies suggest that PPIs have the potential to competitively inhibit the bioactivation of clopidogrel and may attenuate its antiplatelet act...
