Clopidogrel and ticlopidine are structurally very similar. In patients with an allergic or hematologic adverse reaction to either one of these drugs, the likelihood that an allergic or hematologic adverse effect will develop to the other is unknown. It is also unknown whether a reaction to the second thienopyridine is likely to be life threatening.
