WHAT CLOPIDOGREL/ACETYLSALICYLIC ACID TEVA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Clopidogrel/Acetylsalicylic acid Teva contains clopidogrel and
acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and 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 in some types of blood
vessels (called arteries), antiplatelet medicinal products reduce the
chances of blood clots forming (a
process called atherothrombosis).
Clopidogrel/Acetylsalicylic acid Teva is taken by adults to prevent
blood clots forming in hardened
arteries which can lead to atherothrombotic events (such as stroke,
heart attack, or death).
You have been prescribed Clopidogrel/Acetylsalicylic acid Teva in
place of the two separate
medicines, clopidogrel and ASA, to help prevent blood clots because
you have experienced a severe
type of chest pain known as ‘unst
