Abstract
- Recently, some authors have examined the possibility of an interaction between proton pump inhibitors (especially omeprazole) and clopidogrel. Pharmacodynamically, this interaction is proven and leads to a reduction in anti-aggregation activity. Nevertheless, the clinical implications are not fully clarified. We are all waiting for a randomised prospective study assessing specifically this issue. Meanwhile, caution is recommended when prescribing PPI in patients taking clopidogrel.
