Abstract

Although a diminished pharmacodynamic effect of clopidogrel has been demonstrated in patients treated with proton-pump inhibitors (PPis), whether itsclinical efficacy is reduced remains highly controversial. The Fda and European Medicines agency recommend that PPis and clopidogrel should not routinely be coadministered, and the 2010 expert consensus guidelines support this recommendation.
