Clopidogrel, sold under the brand name Plavix among others, is an antiplatelet medication used to reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke in those at high risk. [10] It is also used together with aspirin in heart attacks and following the placement of a coronary artery stent (dual antiplatelet therapy). [10] It is taken by mouth. [10]
An antiplatelet drug (antiaggregant), also known as a platelet agglutination inhibitor or platelet aggregation inhibitor, is a member of a class of pharmaceuticals that decrease platelet aggregation [1] and inhibit thrombus formation.
The CYP2C19 enzyme metabolizes proton pump inhibitors (PPI) as well as clopidogrel. Various reports have stated that there is a negative clopidogrel-omeprazole drug interaction. Some studies have found that clopidogrel activity on platelets was hampered significantly by patients receiving treatment with omeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI).

[34] [35] ADP-induced platelet aggregation and activation are hence hindered. Examples include clopidogrel, prasugrel and ticagrelor. Clopidogrel has a common drug interaction with CYP2C19 inhibitors, particularly omeprazole and esomeprazole which are indicated for treatment of peptic ulcer and gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

Ticlopidine Clopidogrel Prasugrel. Thienopyridines are a class of selective, irreversible [1] ADP receptor/P2Y12 inhibitors used for their anti-platelet activity. They have a significant role in the management of cardiovascular disease.
Aside from aspirin, three antiplatelet agents taken by mouth have been approved for use in acute coronary syndromes, clopidogrel, ticagrelor and prasugrel; all reduce platelet aggregation by inhibiting the P2Y 12 receptor, a type of adenosine phosphate receptor, on the surface of platelets. Not all three of them are equally indicated in all ...
