Cardiologist,  's  Response
As a cardiologist, there is decrease absorption noted of combination therapy, henceforth we recommend taking individually ecosprin and clopidogrel, deplatt A has both in combination, so it's just two tablets put togather, so your gain is psychological benefit of taking one tab less, with the risk of decreased benefits of both when taken saperately.
