CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Prevention of vascular ischaemia associated with atherothrombotic
events (myocardial
infarction, stroke and vascular death) in patients with a history of
symptomatic
atherosclerotic disease.
ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROME
Plavix is indicated in combination with aspirin for patients with:
•
Unstable angina or non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction in order to
prevent early
and long-term atherothrombotic events (myocardial infarction, stroke,
vascular death
or refractory ischaemia). Plavix is indicated for the treatment of
acute coronary
syndrome whether or not patients undergo cardiac revascularisation
(surgical or PCI,
with or without stent).
•
ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction in order to prevent
atherothrombotic events. In this population, Plavix has been shown to
reduce the rate

of death from any cause and the rate of a combined endpoint of death,
re-infarction or
stroke in medically treated patients eligible for thrombolytic
therapy.
