      Mechanism Description
  • Attenuated pharmacological effects of  Prasugrel when combined with Cangrelor 

Recommended Action
      Management To maintain platelet inhibition, clopidogrel 600 mg or prasugrel 60 mg should be administered immediately after discontinuation of the cangrelor infusion. Do not administer prior to discontinuation of cangrelor, as clopidogrel and prasugrel will have no antiplatelet effect until the next dose is administered. alternatively, ticagrelor 180 mg may be administered at any time during cangrelor infusion or immediately after discontinuation.
