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.
Aside from living a healthy lifestyle from the get-go, one of the best ways to prevent these catastrophes is to use drugs that inhibit clotting. Aspirin and clopidogrel (and others now) inhibit platelets from sticking together. We call them antiplatelet drugs. Warfarin, dabigatran (Pradaxa), rivaroxaban (Xarelto) and apixaban (Eliquis) block parts of the coagulation cascade and we call them anticoagulants.
