➤ How does clopidogrel compare to aspirin, and when is it used?
Clopidogrel blocks the P2Y12 ADP receptor and offers antiplatelet effects via a different pathway. It is used when aspirin is contraindicated or as part of dual antiplatelet therapy after stent placement. Expect increased bleeding risk, potential drug interactions, and the need to monitor clinical response and platelet-related parameters.
