Scientific Evidence

Clopidogrel, the active ingredient in Atrogrel tablets, is a platelet aggregation inhibitor that works by irreversibly binding to the P2Y12 receptor on platelets, preventing platelet activation and aggregation. This mechanism of action makes clopidogrel an essential medication in preventing thrombotic events in patients at risk.

Several clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of clopidogrel in reducing the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with atherosclerosis. The CAPRIE study showed that clopidogrel was more effective than aspirin in reducing the combined risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, or vascular death in high-risk patients.
