Overview

What is Clopidogrel Bisulfate?

Clopidogrel bisulfate is a thienopyridine class inhibitor of P2Y ADP platelet receptors. Chemically it is methyl (+)-()-α-(2-chlorophenyl)-6,7-dihydrothieno[3,2-c]pyridine-5(4)-acetate sulfate (1:1). The molecular formula of clopidogrel bisulfate is CHClNOS•HSO and its molecular weight is 419.9.

The structural formula is as follows:

Clopidogrel tablets, USP for oral administration is provided as pink, round, biconvex, imprinted, film-coated tablets containing 97.875 mg of clopidogrel bisulfate, USP which is the molar equivalent of 75 mg of clopidogrel base.

Each tablet contains mannitol, microcrystalline cellulose, low substituted hydroxypropylcellulose, polyethylene glycol and hydrogenated castor oil as inactive ingredients. The pink film coating contains hypromellose, iron oxide red, lactose monohydrate, titanium dioxide and triacetin. Imprinting ink contains shellac glaze, black iron oxide, N-butyl alcohol, propylene glycol, ammonium hydroxide.

What should I look out for while using Clopidogrel Bisulfate?

The effectiveness of clopidogrel results from its antiplatelet activity, which is dependent on its conversion to an active metabolite by the cytochrome P450 (CYP) system, principally CYP2C19 . Clopidogrel at recommended doses forms less of the active metabolite and so has a reduced effect on platelet activity in patients who are homozygous for nonfunctional alleles of the CYP2C19 gene, (termed “CYP2C19 poor metabolizers”). Tests are available to identify patients who are CYP2C19 poor metabolizers . Consider use of another platelet P2Y12 inhibitor in patients identified as CYP2C19 poor metabolizers.


What might happen if I take too much Clopidogrel Bisulfate?

Platelet inhibition by clopidogrel is irreversible and will last for the life of the platelet. Overdose following clopidogrel administration may result in bleeding complications. A single oral dose of clopidogrel at 1,500 or 2,000 mg/kg was lethal to mice and to rats and at 3,000 mg/kg to baboons. Symptoms of acute toxicity were vomiting, prostration, difficult breathing, and gastrointestinal hemorrhage in animals. Based on biological plausibility, platelet transfusion may restore clotting ability.


How should I store and handle Clopidogrel Bisulfate?

Store at 25ºC (77ºF); excursions permitted to 15° to 30ºC (59° to 86ºF) [see USP Controlled Room Temperature].Clopidogrel tablets, USP 75 mg are available as pink, round, biconvex, film-coated tablets imprinted with “894” on one side and plain on the other side. Tablets are provided as follows: Bottles of 30’s with Child Resistant Cap……………NDC 47335-894-83Bottles of 90’s with Child Resistant Cap……………NDC 47335-894-81Bottles of 90’s with Non Child Resistant Cap………NDC 47335-894-19Bottles of 500’s with Non Child Resistant Cap……. NDC 47335-894-13Bottles of 1000’s with Non Child Resistant Cap…... NDC 47335-894-18 Store at 20° to 25°C (68° to 77°F); excursions permitted between 15° and 30°C (59° and 86°F) [see USP Controlled Room Temperature]. Dispense in well-closed containers as defined in USP. U.S. Patent No. 6,429,210 and 6,504,030.

Non-Clinical Toxicology
The effectiveness of clopidogrel results from its antiplatelet activity, which is dependent on its conversion to an active metabolite by the cytochrome P450 (CYP) system, principally CYP2C19 . Clopidogrel at recommended doses forms less of the active metabolite and so has a reduced effect on platelet activity in patients who are homozygous for nonfunctional alleles of the CYP2C19 gene, (termed “CYP2C19 poor metabolizers”). Tests are available to identify patients who are CYP2C19 poor metabolizers . Consider use of another platelet P2Y12 inhibitor in patients identified as CYP2C19 poor metabolizers.

Clopidogrel is a prodrug. Inhibition of platelet aggregation by clopidogrel is achieved through an active metabolite. The metabolism of clopidogrel to its active metabolite can be impaired by genetic variations in CYP2C19

The metabolism of clopidogrel can also be impaired by drugs that inhibit CYP2C19, such as omeprazole or esomeprazole. Avoid concomitant use of clopidogrel with omeprazole or esomeprazole because both significantly reduce the antiplatelet activity of clopidogrel .
