Dear Kshitij,

Clopidogrel is rapidly absorbed after oral administration, with peak plasma levels of the main circulating metabolite occurring approximately 1 hour after dosing. The pharmacokinetics of the main circulating metabolite are linear (plasma concentrations increased in proportion to dose) in the dose range of 50 to 150 mg of clopidogrel. Absorption is at least 50% based on urinary excretion of clopidogrel-related metabolites.

Cmax (µg/ml) 6.66±1.70
Tmax (hours) 2.31±0.91
t½ (hours) 6.94±2.76

so i believe the PD is not the solution.

DDS.

Scientists often have a naïve faith that
if only they could discover enough facts about a problem,
these facts would somehow arrange themselves
in a compelling and true solution.    Theodosius Dobzhansky
