Clopidogrel, an antiplatelet agent used to prevent ischemic events, may interact with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), especially omeprazole and esomeprazole, and reduce its effectiveness. The evidence surrounding this interaction remains controversial. This study investigates whether co‐prescribing clopidogrel with PPIs is associated with a higher incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) compared to clopidogrel monotherapy.
