Feature Recommendations, Effect Dosing Loading dose 300–900 mg, maintenance dose 75 mg daily Time to onset 5–6 Hours to reach maximal platelet inhibition but increasing doses achieve the same level of platelet inhibition more rapidly Metabolism Converted to active form in the liver by the CYP450 system, most particularly enzymes 1A2, 2C19, and 3A4 Action Irreversibly disables P2Y12 platelet receptor, preventing ADP-induced downstream conformational change of the GPIIb/IIIa receptor that is required for platelet activation Interactions that increase potency Cigarette smoke (controversial) Interactions that decrease potency PPIs (controversial) Side effects Hemorrhage, rash, pruritus, TTP Cost US $103/month (2007)
Note:—TTP indicates thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura.
