Effient is similar to an older antiplatelet medication known as PlavixÂ® (clopidogrel). Effient is intended to be taken with aspirin. The two medications work together to prevent platelets from sticking together. Effient and aspirin are similar, but work on different types of receptors on the platelets.
Such patients need anticlotting drugs because blood clots can be a deadly complication of getting a stent. Plavix is the drug most often used to prevent this complication.
