The aspirin is one that inhibits activity of enzyme cyclo-oxygenase inside platelets. Moreover, aspirin was found out to improve survival among patients with heart attack. And aside from that, aspirin is also easy to use, and since it is low dosage it is safe to used for anti-platelet action. Aspirin are also fast acting and relief can be obtained within 30 minutes and it is also affordable. On other hand, thienopyridines such as ticlopidine and clopidogrel inhibit ADP receptor on surface of platelets. This action of thienopyridines of inhibiting ADP receptors on platelets prevents platelets from aggregating and causing blood clots to form. The third anti-platelet agent is glycoprotein llb/lla inhibitors which are considered to be most potent anti-platelet agent, approximately nine times more potent than aspirin and three times more potent that thienopyridines. Moreover, it is also most expensive anti-platelet agent.
