چکیده
OBJECTIVES We determined the effect of clopidogrel dosing on the incidence of nonresponsiveness (NR) and high post-treatment platelet aggregation (post-PA). BACKGROUND We have reported NR after a 300-mg loading dose. Limited information is available on the comparative effect of a 600-mg loading dose on the incidence of NR and high post-PA. METHODS Clopidogrel responsiveness and post-PA were measured in patients undergoing stenting (n = 190) randomly treated with either a 300-mg or a 600-mg clopidogrel load. Nonresponsiveness was defined as <10% absolute change in platelet aggregation, and high post-PA was defined as >75th percentile aggregation after 300 mg clopidogrel. RESULTS Nonresponsiveness was lower after 600 mg compared to the 300-mg dose (8% vs. 28% and 8% vs. 32% with 5 and 20 microM ADP, respectively, p < 0.001). Among the patients with high post-PA after 300 mg clopidogrel, 62% to 65% had NR, whereas after the 600-mg dose, all of the patients with high post-PA had NR. CONCLUSIONS A 600-mg clopidogrel loading dose reduces the incidence of NR and high post-PA as compared to a 300-mg dose. Higher dosing strategies and methods to confirm platelet inhibition should be further investigated in order to optimally use clopidogrel in patients undergoing stenting.

Background: Platelet activation and aggregation plays an essential role in the for-mation of coronary artery thrombosis. Nowadays, the Clopidogrel is administered oral-ly as an inhibitor of platelet aggregation. Due to the high price of the original brand of Clopidogrel (Plavix), an Iranian brand of Clopidogrel (Osvix) has been produced. This study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness, s...
