Platelet aggregation inhibitors, also called antiplatelet drugs, are "drugs or agents which antagonize or impair any mechanism leading to blood platelet aggregation, whether during the phases of activation and shape change or following the dense-granule release reaction and stimulation of the prostaglandin-thromboxane system."[1]
Classification
Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) blocker
This includes dipyrimadole.
Cyclooxygenase-1 blockers
Cyclooxygenase-1 blockers include aspirin.
Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors
Inhibitors of the platelet glycoprotein GPIIb-IIIa complex (GPIs) include the monoclonal antibody abciximab and the small-molecule agents tirofiban and eptifibatid.
Thienopyridines
Thienopyridines include clopidogrel, ticlopidine, and the prodrug prasugrel.[2] They inhibit the ADP receptor.
Effectiveness
"The available evidence demonstrates that the use of clopidogrel plus aspirin is associated with a reduction in the risk of cardiovascular events and an increased risk of bleeding compared with aspirin alone" according to the Cochrane Collaboration.[3]
Drug toxicity
Drug toxicity, specifically hemorrhage, is increased if clopidogrel is combined with aspirin.[4]
