WHAT CLOPIDOGREL RATIOPHARM IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Clopidogrel ratiopharm 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 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 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
