WHAT PRASUGREL VIATRIS IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Prasugrel Viatris, which contains the active substance prasugrel,
belongs to a group of medicines
called antiplatelet agents. Platelets are very small cell particles
that circulate in the blood. When a
blood vessel is damaged, for example if it is cut, platelets clump
together to help form a blood clot
(thrombus). Therefore, platelets are essential to help stop bleeding.
If clots form within a hardened
blood vessel such as an artery they can be very dangerous as they can
cut off the blood supply, causing
a heart attack (myocardial infarction), stroke or death. Clots in
arteries supplying blood to the heart
may also reduce the blood supply, causing unstable angina (a severe
chest pain).
Prasugrel Viatris inhibits the clumping of platelets and so reduces
the chance of a blood clot forming.
You have been prescribed Prasugrel Viatris because you have already
had a heart attack or unstable
angina and you have been treated with a procedure to open blocked
arteries in the heart. You may also
