What is the recommended dose of prasugrel for a patient who did not receive a previous loading dose of clopidogrel at the time of administration of a fibrinolytic agent?
Prasugrel, in a 60-mg loading dose, is reasonable once the coronary anatomy is known in patients who did not receive a previous loading dose of clopidogrel at the time of administration of a fibrinolytic agent, but prasugrel should not be given sooner than 24 hours after administration of a fibrin-specific agent or 48 hours after administration of a non fibrin-specific (Level of Evidence: B)
