Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the pharmacodynamic effect of clopidogrel on the platelet inhibition and the pharmacokinetic profiles of clopidogrel carboxylic acid metabolite between generic and reference clopidogrel products in Thai healthy volunteers

Detailed description

Platelet aggregation (ex vivo) were measured by using Whole blood impedence aggregometry (Chrono-log®) and VerifyNow® P2Y12 assay. Plasma concentration of clopidogrel carboxylic acid metabolite were measured by High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

Interventions
