Abstract

To evaluate whether cocaine administration to human volunteers in vivo increases platelet aggregation, 12 healthy male volunteers were studied twice in a prospective, double-blinded fashion. There was a decrease in aggregation following cocaine exposure compared to placebo, which was most prominent at high doses of adenosine diphosphate.
