Overview
Clopidogrel 75mg is an antiplatelet medication used in veterinary medicine to reduce the risk of thromboembolic events in dogs and cats. It works by inhibiting platelet aggregation, thereby preventing the formation of abnormal blood clots that can lead to serious complications such as stroke, aortic thromboembolism, or pulmonary embolism. Clopidogrel is commonly prescribed for pets with underlying cardiac conditions, immune-mediated diseases, or other disorders that predispose them to excessive clotting.
