Mechanism of action

Heparin is an anticoagulant that potentiates antithrombin III to inactivate thrombin and factor Xa, preventing fibrin formation. Aspirin irreversibly inhibits cyclooxygenase to reduce thromboxane A2 and platelet aggregation. Clopidogrel is a P2Y12 receptor antagonist that blocks ADP-mediated platelet activation. Together, these agents provide synergistic antithrombotic effects through complementary mechanisms.
