  • Title: [Antiplatelet effects of combined therapy with ticlopidine and low doses of aspirin on patients with ischemic cardiopathy].
    Author: Davì G, Catalano I, Spatola A, Alaimo P, Notarbartolo A, Cerbone AM, Strano A.
    Journal: Cardiologia; 1989 Jan; 34(1):69-71. PubMed ID: 2720715.
    Abstract:
    The aim of study was to evaluate the effects on platelet function, in 8 patients with ischemic heart disease, of the following treatments administered consecutively: ticlopidine in a daily dose of 500 mg (10 days); aspirin in a daily dose of 50 mg (10 days); ticlopidine plus ASA, at the same dosages, for the last 10 days. Only ticlopidine plus ASA significantly inhibited EC 50 of ADP, collagen and arachidonate. Platelet activation and platelet sensitivity to prostacyclin was affected by ticlopidine and ticlopidine plus ASA but not by ASA alone. We conclude that in our ischemic heart disease patients the association of ticlopidine and low dose aspirin seems superior to each drug alone in inhibiting platelet activity.
