Clopidogrel Hypersensitivity: A Novel Multi-Day Outpatient Oral Desensitization Regimen

Abstract

This outpatient 10-dose multi-day clopidogrel desensitization protocol is a safe and effective novel approach for the treatment of clopidogrel hypersensitivity in patients with coronary artery disease and cardiac stent placement. In addition to safety and efficacy, this protocol offers the patient the convenience of avoiding hospital admission or full-day time commitments.
