• Clopidogrel is an antiplatelet agent that prevents blood clots by inhibiting the activation and aggregation of platelets.
• Aspirin also acts as an antiplatelet medication by blocking the enzyme cyclooxygenase, which leads to decreased production of thromboxane A2, a substance that promotes platelet aggregation.
