Recently, (non)immunological mechanisms bypassing T cells and IgE have been proposed to explain resistance to standard immunosuppressants.

Background: Clopidogrel is an irreversible antagonist of P2Y receptors (P2YRs) used as an antiplatelet drug to reduce risk of thrombosis. P2YRs are expressed in gastrointestinal (GI) tract where they might regulate GI function.
Aim: To evaluate if blockade of P2YRs by clopidogrel is associated with higher incidence of GI symptoms in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
