Concomitant use of drugs known to cause interactions with oral antiplatelets—polypharmacy in acute coronary syndrome outpatients in Finland

Abstract

Warfarin and ibuprofen were the most commonly used concomitant medications causing pharmacodynamic interactions and potentially increasing the risk of bleeding in OAP-treated patients. Esomeprazole and omeprazole were used in clopidogrel-treated patients although there are alternatives available for gastric protection.
