Although not approved by the FDA for these purposes, ticlopidine has also been used to reduce the rate of reocclusion of arteries following angioplasty or stent placement, and to reduce the chance of a heart attack in some patients with coronary artery disease. Ticlopidine may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.
