Per operatori sanitari — solo a scopo di riferimento. Questa pagina è una sintesi breve, non è un parere medico e non sostituisce il RCP ufficiale né il giudizio clinico. Verificare sempre prima di prescrivere o dispensare.

Il contenuto clinico di questa pagina è disponibile solo in inglese.

Sintesi

Esomeprazole reduces formation of clopidogrel's active metabolite and lowers its antiplatelet effect. This may increase the risk of thrombotic events, particularly in patients after stent placement or acute coronary syndrome. Labeling advises avoiding the combination.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Clopidogrel and Esomeprazole can interact in a way that may be serious. Using them together is sometimes necessary, but it needs a deliberate decision by the prescriber, a plan for monitoring, and clear advice on the warning signs to watch for.

Clopidogrel belongs to Cardiovascular; Esomeprazole belongs to Gastrointestinal Tract.

Livello di evidenza: High

Perché avviene

Esomeprazole inhibits CYP2C19, the enzyme needed to convert clopidogrel to its active thiol metabolite, reducing platelet P2Y12 inhibition.

Cosa fare

Avoid esomeprazole and omeprazole in patients taking clopidogrel. If gastroprotection is needed, use pantoprazole, which has weaker CYP2C19 inhibition, or an H2 antagonist other than cimetidine.

Cosa chiedere al farmacista

  • Does the benefit of taking both outweigh the risk in my case?
  • Do I need any blood test, ECG or other check while on both?
  • What early warning signs should I watch for, and what should I do if they appear?
