Ticlopidine is a reasonable alternative to prevent stroke and myocardial infarction when aspirin is intolerable or ineffective. It can be limited, however, by its severe adverse effect profile. The most worrisome of these is neutropenia, although clinicians must be mindful of other adverse events that may be caused by this drug. A patient experienced elevated liver function tests probably due to ticlopidine.
