摘　　要：Clopidogrel is approved for reduction of atherothrombotic events in patients with cardiovascular(CV)and cerebrovascular disease.Dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and clopidogrel decreases the risk of major adverse cardiac events after acute coronary syndrome or percutaneous coronary intervention,compared with aspirin alone.Due to concern about gastrointestinal bleeding in patients who are receiving clopidogrel and aspirin therapy,current guidelines recommend combined use of a proton pump inhibitor(PPI)to decrease the risk of bleeding.Data from previous pharmacological studies have shown that PPIs,which are extensively metabolized by the cytochrome system,may decrease the ADP-induced platelet aggregation of clopidogrel. Results from retrospective cohort studies have shown a higher incidence of major CV events in patients re-ceiving both clopidogrel and PPIs than in those without PPIs.However,other retrospective analyses of randomized clinical trials have not shown that the concomitant PPI administration is associated with increased CV events among clopidogrel users.These controversial results suggest that large specific studies are needed. This article reviews the metabolism of clopidogrel and PPIs,existing clinical data regarding the interaction between clopidogrel and PPIs,and tries to provide recommendations for health care professionals.Clopidogrel is approved for reduction of atherothrombotic events in patients with cardiovascular (CV) and cerebrovascular disease.
