WHAT CLOPIDOGREL QUALIMED IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Clopidogrel Qualimed belongs to a group of medicines called
antiplatelet medicinal products. Platelets
are very small structures in the blood, which clump together during
blood clotting. By preventing this
clumping, antiplatelet medicinal products reduce the chances of blood
clots forming (a process called
thrombosis).
Clopidogrel Qualimed is taken to prevent blood clots (thrombi) forming
in hardened blood vessels
(arteries), a process known as atherothrombosis, which can lead to
atherothrombotic events (such as
stroke, heart attack, or death).
You have been prescribed Clopidogrel Qualimed to help prevent blood
clots and reduce the risk of
these severe events because:
-
You have a condition of hardening of arteries (also known as
atherosclerosis), and
-
You have previously experienced a heart attack, stroke or have a
condition known as peripheral
arterial disease.
