What is the risk of bleeding for patients on a clopidogrel regimen?
Standard dosing with clopidogrel is associated with less bleeding than with prasugrel and ticagrelor. Higher doses of clopidogrel are associated with greater risk of bleeding than standard dose clopidogrel. Risk of spontaneous, instrumented, and fatal bleeds is higher with prasugrel compared with standard dose clopidogrel, and risk of non-CABG bleeds is higher with ticagrelor compared with standard dose clopidogrel.
