Proton pump inhibitors that may interact with Clopidogrel: Decrease concentrations of the active metabolite clopidogrel and decrease antiplatelet effect. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have been shown to increase occult gastric bleeding when used concomitantly with naloxone and clopidogrel in healthy subjects. Caution should be exercised when clopidogrel is co-administered with glycoprotein receptor blockers because of the increased risk of bleeding from trauma, surgery, or other conditions. Clopidogrel inhibits the metabolism of the CYP2C19 isoenzyme, resulting in increased concentrations of the following drugs: Phenytoin, Warfarin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. CYP2C19 inhibitors such as omeprazole, cimetidine, fluconazole and ketoconazole may decrease the plasma concentrations of the active metabolite of clopidogrel and reduce the antiplatelet effect.
