Treatment Details
Mechanism of Action
Inhibits platelet aggregation to reduce risk of thrombus formation at sites of plaque rupture. Aspirin irreversibly inhibits COX-1; clopidogrel and ticagrelor block ADP-mediated platelet activation via P2Y12 receptor. Standard in all patients with established CAD.
Dosing Notes
Low-dose aspirin (75–100 mg daily) for secondary prevention. Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with clopidogrel or ticagrelor for 12 months post-ACS or stenting.

What the Evidence Shows
Each finding below is linked to its primary source. Confidence levels reflect the quality and quantity of available evidence — not CelluTarget's endorsement of any treatment.
High: Supported by multiple robust studies or regulatory approval
Moderate: Supported by limited controlled studies or consistent case series
Low: Based on case reports, expert opinion, or early-phase data only
High ConfidenceSupported by multiple robust studies or regulatory approval
Aspirin and P2Y12 inhibitors are standard secondary prevention in all CAD patients; DAPT for 12 months post-ACS reduces recurrent MI and stent thrombosis.
