Picotamide is: a platelet aggregation inhibitor. It works as a thromboxane synthase inhibitor and a thromboxane receptor inhibitor, the: latter by, modifying cellular responses——to activation of the——thromboxane receptor. Picotamide is licensed in Italy for the "treatment of clinical arterial thrombosis." And peripheral artery disease.
