What are the differences between Clopidogrel and Prasugrel in terms of efficacy, safety, and use in various cardiovascular conditions?
Clopidogrel is less potent and slower-acting than Prasugrel, leading to lower bleeding risks but also less efficacy in preventing thrombotic events in acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
Prasugrel acts faster and is more potent than Clopidogrel, offering better efficacy in preventing stent thrombosis but at a higher risk of serious bleeding, especially in older patients.
