Clopidogrel is a medication that inhibits platelet aggregation by irreversibly blocking the ADP receptor on platelets, thus preventing clot formation.
Clopidogrel acts as an antiplatelet agent by blocking the P2Y12 component of ADP receptors on platelets, reducing blood clots and preventing cardiovascular events.
