What is ticlopidine?
Ticlopidine keeps the platelets in your blood from coagulating (clotting) to prevent unwanted blood clots that can occur with certain heart or blood vessel conditions. Ticlopidine is used to prevent blood clots after a recent heart attack or stroke, and in people with certain disorders of the heart or blood vessels. Ticlopidine may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
