Cardiovascular and gastrointestinal events of three antiplatelet therapies: clopidogrel, clopidogrel plus proton-pump inhibitors, and aspirin plus proton-pump inhibitors in patients with previous gastrointestinal bleeding
2011
Background
Concomitant use of antiplatelet agents and proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) has been recommended in patients with a history of gastrointestinal (GI) hemorrhage. However, recent studies have reported that PPIs may alter clopidogrel’s pharmacokinetics and potentially lead to an increased risk of recurrent adverse cardiovascular (CV) events.
