Name two antiplatelet drugs. Explain their use
What will be an ideal response?
Aspirin and Plavix are antiplatelet drugs. They help reduce the occurrence of, and death from, vascular events such as heart attacks and strokes. Aspirin is considered to be the reference standard antiplatelet drug and is recommended by the American Heart Association for use in patients with a wide range of cardiovascular disease. Aspirin helps keep platelets from sticking together to form clots. Plavix is approved by the Food and Drug Administration for many of the same indications as aspirin. It is recommended for patients for whom aspirin fails to achieve a therapeutic benefit.
