How does the Drug work
◉Acetyl salicylic acid (ASA) and clopidogrel are two medications that are often used together to prevent blood clots from forming in people who have certain conditions, such as coronary artery disease or who have had a heart attack or stroke.
◉ Acetyl salicylic acid, also known as aspirin, works by blocking the activity of an enzyme called cyclooxygenase (COX). This enzyme is involved in the production of thromboxane, a molecule that promotes blood clotting. By inhibiting COX, ASA reduces the production of thromboxane, which in turn reduces the risk of blood clots.
◉ Clopidogrel, on the other hand, is a platelet aggregation inhibitor. It works by blocking the activity of a molecule called ADP (adenosine diphosphate), which is involved in the activation of platelets, the small blood cells that are responsible for forming clots. By inhibiting the activation of platelets, clopidogrel reduces the risk of blood clots.
◉ When taken together, ASA and clopidogrel have a synergistic effect, meaning that their combined action is greater than the sum of their individual effects. This combination therapy is often used after procedures such as coronary stent placement or in patients with a history of heart attack or stroke to prevent blood clots and reduce the risk of future events.
