==Overdosage==
 
Platelet inhibition by Plavix is irreversible and will last for the life of the [[platelet]]. Overdose following clopidogrel administration may result in bleeding complications. A single oral dose of clopidogrel at 1500 or 2000 mg/kg was lethal to mice and to rats and at 3000 mg/kg to baboons. Symptoms of acute toxicity were [[vomiting]], [[prostration]], difficult breathing, and gastrointestinal hemorrhage in animals.
