Prasugrel

Prasugrel is a third generation thienopyridine antithrombotic that irreversible inhibits the ADP P2Y12 receptor, inhibiting platelet aggregation. Prasugrel is a prodrug; it undergoes rapid hydrolysis and oxidation in vivo to form its active metabolite. Clinically, prasugrel decreases the potential for ischemic events.
