Introduction

Tradename: Plavix. Clopidogrel bisulfate. Generic May 2012[33]

Indications

* addition of aspirin NOT superior to clopidogrel alone[8] (see MATCH study)

# increased risk of bleeding offset by lower mortality from cardiovascular events[4], see CHARISMA trial

Contraindications

Benefit/risk

Dosage

Tabs: 75 mg

Pharmacokinetics

  • rapidly absorbed after oral administration
  • absorbtion unaffected by food
  • activation dependent upon CYP3A4 & CYP2C19;
    • reduced function CYP2C19 alleles inadequately activate clopidogrel & are associated with worse clinical outcomes[18]
    • CYP2C19*1 allele fully functional metabolism of clopidogrel
    • CYP2C19*2 & CYP2C19*3 alleles have no functional metabolism of clopidogrel*
      • these two alleles account for most of the reduced function alleles in patients of Caucasian (85%) & Asian (99%) descent classified as poor metabolizers
    • CYP2C19*4, *5, *6, *7, & *8 & other alleles may be associated with absent or reduced metabolism of clopidogrel, but are less frequent than CYP2C19*2 & CYP2C19*3 alleles
    • a patient with two loss-of-function alleles will have poor metabolizer status
  • cyt P450 2B metabolizes clopidogrel to inactive metabolites
  • steady state activity takes 3-7 days
  • once stopped, it takes 5 days for anti-platelet activity to stop
  • 600 mg achieves maximum platelet inhibition in 2 hours

* ticagrelor & pasugrel not activated by CYP2C19
