Yes, long-term use of clopidogrel is safe for preventing cardiovascular incidents, but regular blood tests are needed to monitor liver function and blood cell counts.
While clopidogrel is generally safe for long-term use in cardiovascular disease prevention, patients should be monitored for signs of bleeding and hematological changes.
See lessDoes Clopidogrel increase the risk of bleeding?
Yes, Clopidogrel can increase bleeding risk. To minimize this in high-risk patients, closely monitor for signs of bleeding and limit use of other anticoagulants or NSAIDs.
