Escitalopram, but not its metabolites, exhibited selective inhibition of human platelet properties. The direct antiplatelet effect of ESC requires further prospective or ex vivo testing to determine the possible clinical advantage of this finding.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
