😱 Patient Case CC: Radiating Chest Pain [Explanation] - #MEDIGRAM




💔 Which P2Y12 inhibitor should be avoided?



Clopidogrel: slow onset of action (~ 2 hours) compared to the less than 30 mins of ticagrelor and prasugrel. It is also extensively metabolized by CYP2C19.


Ticagrelor: BID frequency compared to the daily of the clopidogrel and prasugrel.


Prasugrel: Biggest concern is the contraindication in patients with a hx of stroke or TIA due to the increased risk of bleeding. Caution should also be used in elderly patients.
