WHAT CLOPIDOGREL 1A PHARMA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Clopidogrel 1A Pharma 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 1A Pharma 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 1A Pharma 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 arms or legs
caused by vascular
occlusions) or
-
You have experienced a severe type of chest pain known as ‘unstable
angina’ or ‘myocardial

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

a single 300 mg loading

daily). Since higher doses of ASA were associated with higher bleeding
risk it is recommended

duration of treatment has
not been formally established. Clinical trial data support u
