WHAT CLOPIDOGREL TEVA GENERICS B.V. IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Clopidogrel Teva Generics B.V. 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 Teva Generics B.V. 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 Teva Generics B.V. 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, or
-
You have experienced a severe type of chest pain known as ‘unstable
angina’ or ‘myocardial
infarction’ (heart attack). For the treatment

atherothrombotic events in:
•
Patients suffering from myocardial infarction (from a few days until
less than 35 days),
ischaemic stroke (from 7 days until less than 6 months) or established
peripheral arterial
disease.
•
Patients suffering from acute coronary syndrome:
-
Non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (unstable angina or
non-Q-wave
myocardial infarction), including patients undergoing a stent
placement following
percutaneous coronary intervention, in combination with
acetylsalicylic acid (ASA).

4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
•
Adults and elderly
Clopidogrel should be given as a single daily dose of 75 mg with or
without food.
In patients suffering from acute coronary syndrome:
−
Non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (unstable angina or
non-Q-wave
myocardial infarction): clopidogrel treatment should be initiated with
a single 300 mg
loading dose and then continued at 75 mg once a day (with
acetylsalicylic acid (ASA)
75 mg-325 mg daily). Since higher doses of ASA were associated with
higher bleeding
risk it is recommended that the dose of ASA should not be higher than
100 mg. The
optimal duration of treatment has not been formally established.
