Detailed Answer:
Hello ,

Which formulation of nitric oxide are you planning to take?

There has been some reports of benefit of nitric oxide in lowering intracranial hypertension.
Clopidogrel is a blood thinner. Nitric oxide can interact with plavix to cause a decrease in its metabolism. Therefore it may cause an increase in levels of plavix in blood.
I will suggest that you must consult your doctor before adding nitric oxide to your drug regimen.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
