Question

Which of the following antiplatelet drugs is a reversible inhibitor of ADP receptors?

• A. \( \text{Clopidogrel} \)
• B. \( \text{Prasugrel} \)
• C. \( \text{Ticagrelor} \)
• D. \( \text{All of the above} \)

Hint:

Reversible P2Y\(_{12}\) inhibitors provide more flexible anticoagulation, making them ideal for short-term thrombotic risk management.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Ticagrelor is a reversible inhibitor of P2Y\(_{12}\) ADP receptors, unlike clopidogrel and prasugrel, which bind irreversibly. It prevents platelet aggregation, reducing thrombosis risk in acute coronary syndrome patients. Ticagrelor offers faster onset and shorter duration, allowing controlled antiplatelet effects.
