WHAT CLOPIDOGREL RATIOPHARM GMBH IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Clopidogrel ratiopharm GmbH contains the active ingredient Clopidogrel
which belongs to a group of
medicines called antiplatelet medicinal products. Platelets (so-called
thrombocytes) are very small
structures, 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 ratiopharm GmbH is taken by adults 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 ratiopharm GmbH 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 (disturbed blood flow in

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
•
Adults and elderly
Clopidogrel should be given as a single daily dose of 75 mg.
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. Clinical trial data sup
