Four of the most commonly prescribed heartburn medications reduce the benefit associated with clopidogrel, a widely used antiplatelet medication also known by its brand name, Plavix.

Washington, May 7 : Scientists have found that the medicines used for the treatment of heartburn and ulcers can reduce the anti-clotting action of the medication clopidogrel, thereby resulting in about 50 per cent increase in the combined risk of hospitalisation for heart attack, stroke, and other serious cardiovascular illnesses.

In a new study, published in the May issue of Elsevier's Experimental Neurology, scientists at the University of British Columbia have discovered that drugs commonly used to treat ulcers have significant neuroprotective properties, which appear to be enhanced when used in combination with ibuprofen, a widely used anti-inflammatory drug.

PATIENTS WHO are given clopidogrel after a heart attack are at significantly higher risk for another one if they take most proton pump inhibitors to manage their stomach acid, according to a recent study published online by the Canadian Medical Association Journal.
