Quick Reference
What Is Clopidogrel?
Clopidogrel is an antiplatelet medication used in veterinary medicine to reduce platelet aggregation and help prevent the formation of blood clots. It is commonly prescribed for pets with heart disease, certain clotting disorders, or conditions that increase the risk of thromboembolism. Compounded formulations allow veterinarians to prescribe precise doses not available in commercial tablets.
How Clopidogrel Works in Pets
Clopidogrel works by inhibiting platelet activation and aggregation, reducing the likelihood of clot formation in blood vessels. This mechanism helps protect pets at risk for conditions such as cardiomyopathy, arterial thromboembolism, or other disorders where abnormal clotting may occur. It is often prescribed as long-term therapy under veterinary supervision.
