Comparison of Prasugrel and Clopidogrel in Low Body Weight Versus Higher Body Weight With Coronary Artery Disease

Summary

The 5-milligram (mg) dose of prasugrel in low body weight (LBW) patients with coronary artery disease produces a pharmacodynamic response within the same therapeutic range as 10-mg dose in higher body weight (HBW) patients.
