Clopidogrel Genetic Test (CYP2C19)
Find out if Clopidogrel is the right treatment for you.
Why This Test Matters
Clopidogrel is prescribed to help prevent strokes, heart attacks, and blood clots. For some people, because of their genes, the drug may not work as it should. This means they could be relying on medication that isn’t protecting them properly.
Around one in three people in the UK may not respond to Clopidogrel as expected.
What the NHS Covers
NICE guidelines recommend genetic testing before prescribing Clopidogrel after a new stroke or mini-stroke (TIA). But if you are already on Clopidogrel following a previous stroke, heart attack, or stent, you may not be eligible for NHS testing — even though you may still be at risk.
