What is the significance of the interaction between clopidogrel and omeprazole?
Abstract
The interaction between clopidogrel and omeprazole is significant due to omeprazole's inhibition of CYP2C19, which decreases clopidogrel activation. This can potentially lead to diminished antiplatelet effects and an increased risk of cardiovascular events.
