Clopidogrel Tablets (75 mg): Antiplatelet Agent for Blood Clot Prevention

Clopidogrel is an Antithrombotic medication used to prevent the formation of blood clots. While originally approved for human use, it is a critical medication in veterinary medicine used on an extra-label basis for dogs and cats. Clopidogrel works by inhibiting platelets from aggregating, which helps to reduce the risk of clot-related complications. In veterinary practice, it is most frequently used for cats with certain types of heart disease and for dogs with conditions that increase the risk of thrombosis.
