In order for disturbances to become winter storms there are three key factors: cold air (below-freezing temperatures facilitate the production of snow and ice); moisture (which forms clouds and precipitation); and lift (which raises the moist air to form clouds, precipitation, and fronts).
Clopidogrel (PlavixÂ®) is an antiplatelet/platelet aggregation inhibitor drug that is used to help prevent another stroke. It does this by decreasing the bloodâs ability to clot. This means that when you get a cut or scratch it will take a little longer to stop bleeding.
See also: Aspirin and Other Antiplatelet Medicines written for patients. Antiplatelet drug is a generic term, describing agents which decrease platelet aggregation and inhibit thrombus formation. Antiplatelet drugs are most effective for arterial clots that are composed largely of platelets. Platelets are critical in haemostasis and the development of arterial thrombi. Damaged endothelium activates platelets which respond by adhering and aggregating.
