Brief Answer:
Discussed below

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

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.
