Abstract

Pharmacists have recently learned about the interaction between proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and Plavix (clopidogrel). Is it possible that a simple drug that reduces acid could really reduce the efficacy of a powerful anti-platelet medication? What if the patient is at risk for a GI bleed? What if the patient is also on aspirin? The debate is ongoing.
