ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:
Increased bleeding rates with standard dose prasugrel have led to increased questions about the effectiveness and safety of the lower maintenance dose. We compared platelet inhibitory efficacy between low dose prasugrel and standard dose clopidogrel in patients on maintenance dose dual antiplatelet therapy. SUBJECTS ANDMETHODS:
Forty-three patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention were randomized to receive 75 mg clopidogrel (n=23) or 5 mg prasugrel (n=20). Another 20 patients were allocated to 10 mg prasugrel as a reference comparison group. All patients (weight, > or =60 kg; age, 235) was significant lower in the 5 mg prasugrel group than that in the 75 mg clopidogrel group (15.0% vs. 56.5%, p=0.010).CONCLUSION:
Prasugrel (5 mg) is more potent antiplatelet therapy than 75 mg clopidogrel in non-low body weight and non-elderly patients on a maintenance dose dual antiplatelet therapy.
