German term
Thrombozytenagregationshemmer
German to English
Medical
Medical (general)
What a wonderfull word.
In this specific case it refers to the following medication
ReoPro (abciximab), ASS (Aspirin) & Plavix
And here is what I found:
- inhibitors of platelet aggregation
- platelet antiaggregants
- platelet inhibitors (this gets the most googles and I'd like to use it because it works well in the flow of the discharge report I am working on, but I am not sure if it is correct)
Similarly "Sie fuehrte die Thrombozytenagregationshemmung mit XXX & YYY weiter"
I would love to simply use "platelet inhibitor/inhibition therapy " ...if it is correct.
I would be very grateful to any medical/pharmaceutical expert out there who could shed some light on this for me.
Thanks!

Comment: "Thanks to everyone for your correct answers. It seems that all these terms are valid. I chose this one for my particular context(Spelling error forgiven ;-). "Platelet" is definitely more commonly used than "thrombocyte", but both are correct."
