Prasugrel achieves greater and faster P2Y12receptor-mediated platelet inhibition than clopidogrel due to more efficient generation of its active metabolite in aspirin-treated patients with coronary artery disease

2007 European Heart Journal 455 citations

Abstract

In aspirin-treated subjects with coronary artery disease, prasugrel 60/10 mg provides faster onset and greater inhibition of P2Y(12) receptor-mediated platelet aggregation than clopidogrel 600/75 mg, because of greater and more efficient generation of the active metabolite.
