Full Prescribing Info
Action
Antithrombotic.
Pharmacology: Pharmacokinetics: Clopidogrel is rapidly but incompletely absorbed after oral doses; absorption appears to be at least 50%. It is a prodrug and is extensively metabolized in the liver, mainly to the inactive carboxylic acid derivative. The active metabolite appears to be a thiol derivative but has been identified in plasma. Clopidogrel and the carboxylic acid derivative are highly protein bound. Clopidogrel and its metabolites are excreted in urine and in faeces; about 50% of an oral dose is recovered from the urine and about 46% from faeces.
