Picotamide is an antiplatelet agent that acts as both a thromboxane synthase inhibitor and a thromboxane receptor antagonist. It is used for the prevention of thrombotic events such as myocardial infarction and stroke, especially in patients with peripheral arterial disease. While approved in countries like Italy, it is not widely approved or used in many other regions.
