GENERIC NAME: clopidogrel bisulfate. BRAND NAME: Plavix. DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Clopidogrel bisulfate is an anti-platelet drug, that is, a drug that inhibits the ability of platelets to clump together as part of a blood clot. Clopidogrel prevents blood clots by irreversibly binding to the P2Y12 receptor on platelets, preventing adenosine diphosphate (ADP) from activating platelets.
